* Telomere maintenance / anti-aging at cellular level In vitro studies: Epitalon increases telomerase activity, helps maintain or lengthen telomeres in human somatic/fibroblast cells. * Potential lifespan extension (animals) Animal (rodent) studies have shown that epitalon/epithalamin treatment can extend life span, delay aging markers. * Immune system effects Some studies show improved immune parameters, better resistance to infections in animal models; modulation of immune cell activity and cytokines. *Regulation of sleep / circadian rhythms Because it’s tied to the pineal gland and melatonin production, there is evidence it helps with sleep quality, possibly helping restore or normalize melatonin secretion. *Antioxidant / DNA protection / anti‑mutagenic It may reduce oxidative stress, help protect DNA from damage, reduce markers of mutation in cells. *Skin, regeneration, possibly anti‑cancer effects Some studies suggest improved skin structure, reduced signs of aging; also in animal studies, suppression of certain types of tumor growth/metastasis. * Other metabolic / hormonal effects Some reports of improved hormone regulation (including melatonin, possibly others), better metabolic markers. *Can assist with Menopause |
