Epithalon
Telomerase Endpoints
Epithalon is a four amino acid peptide derived from the pineal extract epithalamin. Telomerase activity and telomere length in cultured human cells are the characterised readouts, with sleep-wake timing examined in animal models.
- Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide
- Telomerase activity endpoints
- Circadian timing in animal models
-
Thymalin
Thymic Fraction
Thymalin is prepared from thymus tissue as a polypeptide fraction rather than a single synthesised sequence. It is characterised at the level of the preparation, so no one amino acid sequence or molecular weight describes it.
- Polypeptide fraction, not one sequence
- Thymic tissue origin
- Characterised as a preparation
-
Combined
Two Bioregulators
The vial pairs a defined synthetic tetrapeptide with a tissue-derived fraction. The two are characterised separately and no interaction data exists for the pair.
- Defined and fraction arms
- Matched handling
- Interaction not characterised

Frequently asked questions
Why combine Epithalon and Thymalin?
Both come from the same peptide bioregulator literature but from different tissues, pineal and thymic. One vial holds both under matched handling.
Why is no sequence listed for Thymalin?
Thymalin is a polypeptide fraction prepared from thymus tissue, not a single synthesised peptide. No one amino acid sequence or molecular weight describes it, so none is published here rather than printing a figure that would be wrong.
Has the combination been characterised as a single formulation?
No. Each compound is characterised separately and no interaction data exists for the pair.
How does this differ from buying Epithalon separately?
The standalone Epithalon product lets you control its quantity independently and is offered in its own size. This vial fixes the ratio at 10 mg and 10 mg and adds the thymic fraction.
What purity is documented?
Each lot is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC and released at ≥99%, with a Certificate of Analysis.
How is it stored?
Store lyophilized at -20°C for long-term stability, protected from light and moisture, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
