Description
OVERVIEWProduct overview
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from work on pineal gland extracts carried out in St Petersburg, and is one of the most studied of the short peptide bioregulators.
Published work examines telomerase activity in cultured cells and lifespan endpoints in rodent and invertebrate models, much of it from a small number of research groups.
All published work is preclinical or investigational. This material is supplied as a laboratory reference compound and is not authorised as a medicine in Ireland, the UK or the EU.
SUPPLY IN IRELANDEpitalon Ireland — supplied to research laboratories
Research groups across Ireland buy Epitalon from Kensington Laboratories as a lyophilised Epitalon peptide, released only against a batch-matched certificate of analysis. Every vial of high purity Epitalon is verified by HPLC and LC-MS before it leaves the facility, so laboratories ordering Epitalon in Ireland receive material with documented purity and identity.
Laboratory Epitalon is packed for controlled storage and sent by tracked delivery in 3–5 days to Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and the rest of Ireland. Delivery costs €9.90 per order. Teams planning Epitalon research can review the specifications, certificate of analysis and reference list on this page before ordering.
Institutions searching for Epitalon peptide suppliers in Ireland typically compare purity, batch documentation and delivery times. Each of those is published here: a 99% HPLC purity specification, a certificate matched to the batch code on your vial, and tracked delivery in 3–5 days.
Epitalon is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. It is not a medicine and is not for human or veterinary consumption.

RESEARCHResearch overview
The following summary is provided for educational and scientific context only. It describes what has been observed in published laboratory and animal studies and does not represent established clinical outcomes, medical advice or a claim of efficacy in humans.
Background
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from work on pineal gland extracts carried out in St Petersburg, and is one of the most studied of the short peptide bioregulators.
Published work examines telomerase activity in cultured cells and lifespan endpoints in rodent and invertebrate models, much of it from a small number of research groups.
All published work is preclinical or investigational. This material is supplied as a laboratory reference compound and is not authorised as a medicine in Ireland, the UK or the EU.
Current research areas
Published investigation clusters around a small number of biological themes. Each remains experimental and none has been established as a therapeutic effect in humans.
- Telomerase activity in fibroblast culture
- Melatonin rhythm and pineal function studies
- Rodent lifespan and ageing endpoints
- Antioxidant and oxidative stress markers
Scientific context and proposed mechanisms
Authors propose direct interaction between the short peptide and regulatory regions of DNA, with reported increases in telomerase expression cited as the basis for the cellular ageing endpoints described. Independent replication outside the originating groups remains limited.
Interpreting the evidence
Most published work in this area uses cell culture or rodent models with small group sizes and short observation windows. Independent replication varies considerably between compounds, and results are sensitive to species, route, dose and endpoint.
There is no regulatory-approved human protocol for this compound. Any laboratory protocol should be defined by the model under study, institutional ethical approval, appropriate controls and predefined endpoints.
