Epithalon (epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied in research into telomerase activity and cellular-senescence pathways in experimental models.
Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the amino acid sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, modelled on the pineal peptide preparation epithalamin. It has the molecular formula C14H22N4O9, a molecular weight of 390.35 g/mol and CAS number 307297-39-8. It is supplied here as a lyophilised solid reference material for laboratory research use only.
The two spellings, Epithalon and Epitalon, refer to the same Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide; they are used interchangeably across the literature and supply listings. This is a research chemical and is not a medicine, supplement or food.
Epithalon is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and it is not a licensed medicine in the UK. It is supplied strictly as a research chemical for laboratory use only, and it is not for human or veterinary consumption. The purchaser is responsible for handling, storage and compliance with all applicable local regulations. See our research disclaimer for the full terms of supply.
Each batch is released only after independent identity and purity testing. Purity is assessed by HPLC at 99% or higher, and identity is confirmed by HPLC retention-time matching (HPLC-RTM) against a reference standard for the Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly sequence (CAS 307297-39-8, PubChem CID 219042). Not all material listed as Epithalon is equivalent: a verifiable certificate of analysis is the only way to confirm what a given vial contains. Batch documentation is available via our certificates of analysis.
The published literature on Epithalon sits in the pineal-peptide research area and examines the Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide in pre-clinical, in-vitro and animal-model systems, including work referencing telomere biology and cellular-senescence models. None of this establishes a benefit, effect or outcome in humans, and Epithalon is not a licensed medicine. For the mechanistic and study-design detail, see our monograph: Epithalon and telomerase research.
Epithalon is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) white to off-white powder and is soluble in bacteriostatic water for reconstitution in the laboratory. Store the lyophilised solid at -20C, kept dry and protected from light; hold reconstituted material at 2-8C. It is listed in our cellular research category alongside related reference compounds including NAD+, Glutathione and SS-31. For laboratory research use only; not for human or veterinary use.

Easy, straight forward, well priced
great quality and an impressive service. Used many times. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
Highly recommend.
For context, I’ve used many peptide companies over the years. And I can confidently say kovalabs sit in their own lane. The efforts they go through to get ISO testing is remarkable, more importantly the results themselves are also consistently superb. Shipping has always arrived next day, packaging is professional and packed securely. With nice personal touches too. Support team are fantastic also. The only company I’d recommend for peptides moving forward.
Most transparent provider in the UK
I’ve been using kovalabs for a few weeks but before my first order I did a LOT of research, and chose these as they are by far the most transparent and stringent provider in the UK, by a country mile. This is now my 4th order, and every single time without fail the communication is outstanding, the quality is as expected - superb. And prices remain highly competitive especially for the assurance you’re getting high quality, tested products. I’ve recommended to everyone I know.
100% the best peptide company I've dealt with for peps.This company stands behind it's products and it's service quite boldly, and understandably so. The products themselves look amazing and very professional, and the quality is far beyond what I’ve had from any other pep company in the uk. On my last order, I did have an issue with Royal Mail, in which I then emailed customer support, and Sophie put it right for me on the exact same day, very impressed. They've earned a repeat customer from me!
The kovalabs team deserves some sort of award. By far the best customer support I’ve received perhaps in my life, with genuinely kind and caring people. The vials themselves look very premium and professional, but more importantly I can vouch that the quality of the stuff is truly top tier. I continue to recommend to all
Great Customer Service Fast Response will definitely be ordering again
