THE LONGEVITY FACTOR
Epitalon
Supports cellular longevity and circadian rhythm for optimal sleep-based brain repair.
Also known as: Epithalon; Epithalone; Epithalamin
Overview
Epitalon is a synthetic version of a natural pineal gland peptide that activates telomerase - the enzyme that lengthens telomeres, the protective caps on your chromosomes. Shorter telomeres are associated with aging and disease. By activating telomerase, Epitalon may slow cellular aging while also improving sleep through enhanced melatonin production.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
Telomerase Activation
Activates the enzyme that lengthens and protects telomeres
Melatonin Boost
Increases pineal melatonin production for better sleep
DNA Repair
Enhances DNA repair mechanisms through PARP-1
