Epitalon

“Pinealon is, ironically, is a peptide that doesn't come from the pineal, comes from brain tissue. Epithalon comes from the pineal. Who names this stuff? It's like, it's insane. But I've experimented with Pinealon every third or fourth night, taking about a, you know, a tenth of an IU.”

“So then there are things like Pinealon for sleep, Epitalon, perhaps for DNA repair. I haven't dabbled with that one yet. And then there are the so-called growth hormone secretagogues. So we're talking about Tesamorelin, Ipamorellin, CJC 1295.”

“You can lengthen your telomeres with telomerase-lengthening peptides like an epitalon.”

“We also talk about peptides that have been studied for the purpose of DNA repair and longevity, like Epithalon and Pinealon, which also have been touted to improve REM sleep and for improving cognitive function.”

“Yes. Are they bioavailable active? Dr. Khavinson's work suggests that it is. Dr. Vladimir Khavinson is this Russian-Soviet scientist that gives us Epitalon and Thymulin and Pinealon and all these Russian peptides. Di and Tri-peptides can be orally available if they're the right shape and size.”

“He's like, huh, I wonder if these effects are from the peptides, not from the gland itself. So then He sequences from the pineal gland Epithalon and from the thymus gland a couple different peptides, Vilon, Thymogen, Crystagen, that you'll be hearing about in the next few years.”

“That on their own do a lot of the effects that the whole extract would do. Now you're talking about Epithalon, but Pinealon and Epithalon. Is not from the pineal gland. Is not from the pineal gland. Even though everyone. No, I think it's called that because there's, as far as I understand, please correct me if I'm wrong.”

“Epitalon, which turns out comes from the pineal.”

“But Epitalon is somehow restoring pinealocytes, it's somehow enhancing function of the pineal and other tissues. Yep. So in Khavinson's work, he's found that it will increase the expression of the different clock genes.”

“So in the Khavinson seminal work was this 15 year longevity study, you got people in nursing homes, two groups one of them got Epitalon in the form of Epithalamin, which is the whole pineal gland extract.”

“them peptides for, you know, very small amount of the year, and yet they accrued benefits the rest of the year. Impressive. One of the things that really got me excited about Epithalon, is it thalon or talon? The Russians say Epitalon, it's the way they say it, but it's spelled with a TH. Okay. So I'll say Epithalon, whoever wants, you know, we're making the rules today.”

“Even though they're in mice, I can say this is a real effect or like a meh effect or like a whoa effect. Using Epitalon to combat some of the neurodegeneration and things like retinitis pigmentosa. Downstream neurodegeneration, NRP, which is a very common, unfortunately, blinding disease.”

“And this is what gene therapy is about. So do you think of Epitalon as kind of a gene therapy of sorts? Or do you think about it more as support for genetic machinery that has lots of downstream targets? Yes, I think it supports this genetic machinery. When it comes to the eyes, it seems to be repairing some of the photoreceptors that might get down.”

“When it comes to the bioregulators, the Epitalon, Pinealon, the Khavinson literature looks at like microgram dosages from 10 to 100 micrograms of the actual raw peptides.”
