Epithalon (Epitalon, AEDG) Research Peptide

Epithalon, also commonly spelled Epitalon, is the synthetic tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, abbreviated AEDG. It has been investigated in cell and animal research involving gene-expression, telomerase and ageing-related hypotheses.

The evidence base has historically been concentrated within a small number of research groups. More recent cell work has added independent data, but human anti-ageing claims remain unproven and should not be inferred from in-vitro findings.

Technical Specifications

Independent Batch Testing

Every current ZENTRA Epithalon batch is independently tested and records an HPLC purity result above 99%. Use the batch number printed on the product label to locate the corresponding third-party report in our Batch Verification and COA Centre. Researchers should consult the individual report for the exact analytical methods, result and testing date for their supplied batch.

Epithalon Research Context

Early cell studies reported changes in telomerase activity and telomere-related measurements. Other work examined AEDG-related gene expression and cellular differentiation. A 2025 cell study reported telomere-length changes across selected normal and cancer cell lines.

Cell-culture outcomes do not demonstrate lifespan extension, clinical benefit or safety in people. ZENTRA therefore describes the compound and published experiments without promoting it as an anti-ageing treatment.

Storage and Handling

Keep unopened lyophilised material at approximately -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C for short-term laboratory storage. Protect from light, moisture and repeated temperature changes.

Epithalon Research FAQs

Are Epithalon and Epitalon the same compound?

Yes. Both spellings commonly refer to the AEDG tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly.

What is its molecular weight?

The neutral AEDG tetrapeptide is approximately 390.35 g/mol.

Is Epithalon the same as Pinealon?

No. Epithalon is AEDG, while Pinealon is the EDR tripeptide.

What research has examined it?

Published work has mainly examined telomerase, telomere-related measurements, gene expression and cellular differentiation in preclinical systems.

Does the evidence prove anti-ageing effects in humans?

No. Cell and animal findings do not establish a human anti-ageing outcome.

How is purity verified?

The current batch is independently HPLC tested above 99% and linked to its online COA.

Selected Scientific Sources
