Epithalon Reconstitution & Dosing
Also known as: Epitalon, AEDG
Quick answer: mix a 10 mg vial of Epithalon with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water. That gives 5.00 mg/ml, so a typical 5 mg dose is 100 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — about 2 doses per vial. Reported protocols range 5 mg–10 mg, daily for 10–20 days, cycled 1–2x yearly.
Epithalon is a synthetic pineal tetrapeptide studied in Russian longevity research for telomerase activation and circadian regulation. It is run in short courses rather than continuously. Full overview: what is Epithalon? →
