Epitalon: what the evidence can and cannot show
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied in aging-related laboratory models. One in-vitro study reported telomerase activity in cultured human somatic cells, while an older animal study examined lifespan and spontaneous tumors in mice. These designs can generate hypotheses, but they do not prove clinical anti-aging benefit, establish a safe human dose or replace controlled clinical trials. Claims on this page must remain tied to the population and design of each cited study.
