How does it work?

Epithalon is a synthetic version of a pineal-gland extract. Lab work links it to switching on telomerase, the enzyme that maintains chromosome ends.

What does the research say?

Published studies, strongest evidence first.

  • Animal study

    In 108 mice treated for life, Epithalon did not change mean life span; the longest-lived 10% lived 13.3% longer and bone-marrow chromosome damage was 17.1% lower.
