Epitalon - The Longevity Peptide
Share
What if a tiny peptide could whisper to your DNA to “stay young longer”? That’s the story behind Epitalon, discovered by Russian scientist Vladimir Khavinson.
Epitalon works by activating telomerase, an enzyme that rebuilds telomeres - the protective caps on your chromosomes that shorten as you age. Short telomeres are linked with aging and disease, so keeping them long could mean healthier, longer living cells.
Research (mainly in Russia and animal studies) suggests Epitalon may:
* Extend lifespan in mice and flies
* Improve sleep by normalizing melatonin production
* Support immune system resilience
* Potentially reduce cancer risk by stabilizing DNA
Although human research is still limited, Epitalon is captivating because it tackles aging at the genetic maintenance level.
If aging is the slow unraveling of DNA protection, could peptides like Epitalon one day make “healthy aging” the norm instead of the exception?
