About each compound
About Epitalon (Epithalon)
Epitalon (epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, with decades of Russian research suggesting telomere lengthening, pineal gland regulation, and lifespan extension in animal models. It stimulates telomerase activity — a rare property among known compounds. Human data is limited but promising for longevity applications. It is widely used in anti-aging clinics.
About Sermorelin
A synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), this 29-amino acid peptide stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and secrete endogenous growth hormone through binding to GHRH receptors. It functions by mimicking the N-terminal bioactive portion of native GHRH, promoting pulsatile GH release while preserving the body's natural feedback mechanisms. Primary applications include diagnostic testing of pituitary function and therapeutic use in growth hormone deficiency.
