Product Information
The Longevity Peptide. Backed by 40 Years of Research.
Epitalon (10mg) is available in Australia through Aus Peptide Supply with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.
Epitalon — also spelled Epithalon — is the most studied longevity peptide in existence. Developed by Russian gerontologist Professor Vladimir Khavinson over 40 years of research, it targets one of the most fundamental mechanisms of biological ageing: the shortening of telomeres. Every time a cell divides, the protective caps at the ends of your DNA get slightly shorter. When they run out, the cell stops working properly. Epitalon is one of the only compounds shown in published research to activate telomerase — the enzyme that can actually rebuild those caps.
Beyond the telomere research, Epitalon has been studied for restoring melatonin production (which drops significantly with age), improving immune function in older subjects, and — in preclinical models — extending both mean and maximum lifespan by up to 30–40%. It's the compound of choice for researchers who want to target ageing at the cellular level rather than just managing symptoms of it.
What Epitalon Is Used For
- Cellular Anti-Ageing — Activates telomerase to help maintain telomere length — one of the most direct biological mechanisms for slowing cellular ageing
- Sleep & Circadian Rhythm — Studied for restoring melatonin production, which declines with age, improving sleep quality and circadian function
- Longevity & Lifespan — Preclinical models have reported 30–40% increases in mean lifespan — among the largest lifespan extension data published for any single peptide
- Immune System Support — Associated with improved immune cell activity in aged subjects, helping restore the immune function that naturally declines over time
- Antioxidant Protection — Reduces cellular oxidative damage — the accumulated wear that drives much of the age-related decline in tissue and organ function
Supplied as lyophilized powder at ≥99% purity, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry. 10mg per vial. Fast domestic shipping across Australia, with batch-specific CoA information available in our CoA Library.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Epitalon?
Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon) is a longevity peptide with over 40 years of research behind it — more than almost any other peptide in the anti-ageing space. It was developed by Russian gerontologist Professor Vladimir Khavinson and is studied for slowing biological ageing at the cellular level, particularly through its ability to activate telomerase — the enzyme that maintains the protective caps at the ends of your DNA. It's also researched for restoring melatonin production, improving immune function in older subjects, and significantly extending lifespan in preclinical models.
What is Epitalon also known as?
Epitalon is commonly spelled as Epithalon or Epithalone — all three refer to the same compound. It's sometimes called the 'longevity peptide' or 'pineal peptide' because it was derived from a pineal gland extract called Epithalamin. If you've been searching for any of these names, you're looking at the same product.
What are telomeres, and why does Epitalon matter for them?
Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of your DNA — think of them like the plastic tips on shoelaces. Every time a cell divides, these caps get a little shorter. When they get too short, the cell stops dividing properly and starts to malfunction — this is one of the core mechanisms of biological ageing. Telomerase is the enzyme that can rebuild telomere length, but in most adult cells it's switched off. Epitalon is one of the only compounds with published research showing it can reactivate telomerase. That's what makes it significant in longevity research — it's targeting the mechanism, not just the symptoms.
How does Epitalon work?
Epitalon works through several pathways studied over decades of research. The main one is telomerase activation — helping cells maintain their DNA's protective caps for longer. It also appears to normalise pineal gland function, which restores melatonin production that declines with age (melatonin affects sleep, immune function, and oxidative stress). Additionally, Epitalon has been studied for its antioxidant effects — reducing the cellular damage that accumulates over time and contributes to organ and tissue decline.
What does the research show about Epitalon?
The research base for Epitalon is unusually extensive for a peptide — over 40 years of work from Russian and European institutions. Key findings include: telomerase activation and measurable telomere lengthening in cell models; lifespan extension of 30–40% in preclinical animal models (among the highest ever reported for a single compound); restoration of melatonin production and improved sleep architecture in aged subjects; improved immune markers; and reductions in age-related disease incidence. Human clinical data from Khavinson's group suggests lower all-cause mortality in elderly patients treated with Epitalon and its parent compound Epithalamin.
Will Epitalon improve my sleep?
Sleep disruption is one of the most common complaints as people age — and a large part of that comes from declining melatonin production. The pineal gland naturally produces less melatonin as we get older, which disrupts circadian rhythm and sleep architecture. Epitalon has been studied for its ability to restore pineal gland function and bring melatonin secretion back toward younger levels. Research in aged subjects has documented improvements in sleep quality and circadian rhythm normalisation following Epitalon administration.
Is Epitalon the same as Epithalamin?
No — they're related but different. Epithalamin is a natural extract from bovine pineal glands, used in the original Russian longevity research. Epitalon is the synthetic tetrapeptide that researchers identified as the active component within Epithalamin — essentially the purified, reproducible version. Aus Peptide Supply supplies Epitalon as the synthetic tetrapeptide, which is the standard format used in modern research.
How do you reconstitute Epitalon?
Epitalon is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) immediately before use. Inject the BAC water slowly into the vial, directing the stream down the inside wall. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, see our complete peptide reconstitution guide.
How should Epitalon be stored?
Store lyophilized Epitalon vials at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. After reconstitution with BAC water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution.
