Epitalon
Epitalon is a synthetic peptide explored in longevity research for telomerase and circadian effects. Prescription-only and clinician-supervised at Meto.
Quick Facts
The mechanism, in plain language.
Upregulates telomerase activity in vitro and in vivo. Restores pineal melatonin production and entrains circadian genes. Russian research literature suggests extended healthspan markers after repeated cycles.
How its administered
The dosing schedule below is the typical Meto starting protocol. Your clinician will adjust based on your labs, response and goal.
SCHEDULE
5–10 mg SQ QD x 10 days, 1 cycle every 3 months. Alternatively: oral drops daily x 20 days.
FORM & SOURCING
10 mg/vial lyophilised, reconstituted on arrival. Oral drops available.

Peptide Readiness Panel
The labs that pick your protocol.
IGF-1 sets your GH-axis baseline. hs-CRP flags inflammation that changes which peptides we'd choose. HbA1c and fasting insulin decide whether the muscle-preservation stack is safe for you. Drawn at a partner lab near you, or finger-prick kit to your door.
What you'll get
- Full panel results in your dashboard in 2–3 days
- Clinician interpretation in plain language
- Protocol match (P1–P4) with a confidence score
- Safety flags surfaced before any prescription
- HSA/FSA eligible · cancel anytime
Frequently Asked Questions
Why a 10-day cycle instead of daily?
Epitalon's effects are durable — the telomerase and circadian signalling it triggers persists well past the dosing window. The quarterly-cycle pattern mirrors the clinical research.
