How do I reconstitute Epithalon (Epitalon)?

Add bacteriostatic water slowly to the vial, aiming at the glass wall. Swirl gently until dissolved. Use the TheDoseGuide free dosing calculator to determine your exact concentration and syringe units.

Epithalon (Epitalon) — Dosing, Research & Reconstitution Guide

How It Works

Epithalon activates the enzyme telomerase, which adds telomeric DNA repeats to the ends of chromosomes. Telomeres naturally shorten with each cell division, contributing to aging. By reactivating telomerase, Epithalon may slow or reverse telomere shortening, extending cellular lifespan. It also stimulates melatonin production from the pineal gland.

Key Research Findings

Demonstrated telomerase activation and telomere lengthening in human cell cultures
Extended lifespan in multiple animal studies (including a 13.7% lifespan increase in one study)
Improved circadian rhythm and melatonin production in elderly subjects
May have anti-cancer properties through immune system modulation

Common Research Protocols

Research Dosing Range

Subcutaneous injection: 5–10 mg once daily for 10–20 consecutive days, repeated every 4–6 months. Some protocols use 5 mg twice daily for 10 days. The cyclical nature of dosing mimics the protocols used in Khavinson's published research.

Reconstitution Guide

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute Epithalon (Epitalon) for research use:

Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.

Use the dosing calculator to calculate your exact concentration (mcg per unit) and how many units to draw on your syringe.

How should Epithalon (Epitalon) be stored? ▾

Unreconstituted powder should be stored in a freezer or refrigerator away from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C) and use within 4–6 weeks. Never freeze reconstituted peptides.
