Epithalon (10mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Epitalon (Epithalon) (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

Quickstart Highlights

Epitalon (Epithalon) dosage protocols center on this synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed from pineal gland research for its geroprotective potential[1]. Epitalon activates telomerase to promote telomere elongation, supports healthy melatonin production for improved sleep and circadian rhythm regulation, and has demonstrated lifespan extension in animal models[2][3]. Human studies suggest potential benefits for longevity, cardiovascular health, and physiological function in older adults[4]. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin-syringe measurements.

  • Reconstitute: Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 5 mg/mL concentration.
  • Typical daily dose: 5,000 mcg (5 mg) once daily for 20 consecutive days.
  • Easy measuring: At 5 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL = 50 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
  • Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

    Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

    Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing

    Standard Protocol (2 mL = 5 mg/mL)

    Phase Daily Dose (mcg) Units (per injection) (mL)
    Days 1–20 (Cycle On) 5,000 mcg (5 mg) 100 units (1.00 mL)
    Weeks 4–26 (Cycle Off) 0 mcg —

    Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously, preferably in the evening or at bedtime to synergize with natural melatonin rhythms[3]. Complete 20 consecutive days, then observe a 4–6 month off-cycle before repeating (typically 2 cycles per year)[5].

    Reconstitution Steps

  • Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
  • Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
  • Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).
  • Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light.

    Supplies Needed

    Plan based on a 20-day daily protocol at 5 mg/day.

  • Peptide Vials (Epitalon, 10 mg each):

    • 20-day cycle (5 mg/day): 10 vials (each vial yields 2 doses)
  • Insulin Syringes (U-100):

    • Per cycle: 20 syringes (1/day)
  • Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use 2.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

    • 20-day cycle (10 vials): 20 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
  • Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

    • Per cycle: 40 swabs (2/day) → recommend 1 × 100-count box

    Protocol Overview

    Concise summary of the once-daily regimen.

  • Goal: Support telomere maintenance, melatonin regulation, and geroprotective effects over time[2].
  • Schedule: Daily subcutaneous injections for 20 consecutive days, followed by 4–6 months off-cycle.
  • Dose: 5,000 mcg (5 mg) daily.
  • Reconstitution: 2.0 mL per 10 mg vial (5 mg/mL) for accurate unit measurements.
  • Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
