Most-cited research protocols

Epitalon, also known as epithalon (AEDG), is a small four-amino-acid peptide primarily studied for its role in aging, particularly concerning telomeres and the body's sleep/melatonin rhythm. This page outlines reported dosing contexts, mixing instructions, supplies, and safety considerations.
| Dose | Frequency | Duration | Route | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard short cycle | 5 mg/day | evening | 20 days | SubQ |
| Condensed cycle | 10 mg/day | evening | 10 days | SubQ |
Cycle: 2-3 times per year, with cycles spaced 4-6 months apart. Each cycle delivers roughly 100 mg total.
Benefits and research observations: Dosing is often in the evening to align with natural melatonin rhythms. Monitor for injection-site reactions, mild drowsiness, and occasional headache or temporary sleep changes as the cycle begins.
Handling and storage
Store unreconstituted product according to its label and maintain the cold chain where applicable. After any preparation, follow only validated instructions for the specific product and diluent. Do not use if packaging is damaged or the solution shows particles or unexpected changes.
Warnings
Do not use this page for self-diagnosis or self-medication. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, minors, cancer history, allergies, active disease and concurrent treatments require individual professional evaluation.
