Dosage:
subcutaneous (SC)
The Khavinson protocol, according to Ben Greenfield: 10 mg of Epitalon injected subcutaneously 3 times a week for 3 weeks straight, done once a year . Best taken in the morning.
https://bengreenfieldlife.com/article/wolverine-peptide-stack/
Typical range: 5–10 mg per day
Duration: 10–20 consecutive days
Frequency: Cycles are often repeated every 6–12 months
- Draw 1.0 mL of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
- Inject the water slowly to prevent peptide denaturation.
- Gently swirl—do not shake vigorously.
- Inject subcutaneously (100 units) once per day for 10 days.
- Store the reconstituted solution at 2–8 °C (refrigerator), protected from light.
- Injection Method: Subcutaneous in the abdomen area or IM in the deltoid/glute
- Timing: Flexibility in injection time; consistency is encouraged
Unlike performance-enhancing compounds where higher doses may translate into greater results, Epitalon doesn’t follow that model.
Very interesting link for longevity
Epitalon is unique among peptides because it acts as a regulatory signal rather than a direct hormone replacement. This is why low, cyclical dosing is sufficient — it’s not about forcefully pushing the body into a state, but about reminding cells of their natural programming.
Telomere length is considered to be a marker of biological aging (Vaiserman* and Krasnienkov 2021), and telomere length maintenance can increase lifespan and longevity in mammals (Bernardes de Jesus et al 2012). Epitalon was initially shown to induce telomerase activity and elongate telomeres in human somatic cells by Khavinson in 2003. It was shown to stimulate the proliferative capacity of epithelial cells (Khavinson et al 2003a, b) and fibroblast (Lin’kova et al 2016) in vitro thereby increasing the lifespan of the cells. However, very little quantitative data has ever been published on comparing telomere lengths, hTERT expression, telomerase and ALT activity in normal and cancer cells treated with this tetrapeptide.

Conclusions
In June 2025, it will have been 25 years since the synthesis of Epitalon was patented. During this quarter-century, multiple in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies, as well as clinical trials on this tetrapeptide, have been conducted. However, despite the fact that many experiments have shown statistically significant geroprotective and neuroendocrine effects of Epitalon, resulting from its antioxidant, neuroprotective, and antimutagenic effects, its mechanism of action remains unclear. While it has been proven that Epitalon exhibits inter alia direct effects on melatonin synthesis, affects the mRNA levels of interleukin-2, modulates the mitogenic activity of murine thymocytes, and increases the activity of multiple enzymes such as AChE, BuChE, and telomerase, it is currently not known if these are the only routes of action of this compound. In addition, despite the relatively large number of studies on the biological and pharmacodynamic properties of Epitalon, the number of physico-chemical and structural works on this peptide are very limited. Since the presence of this compound has been recently confirmed in pineal gland polypeptide complex solution, this additionally justifies the necessity of further studies on this unusual tetrapeptide.
mproving Biological Age, Telomere Length, and Cognition: A Case Report on the Use of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, Peptides, Umbilical Cord Tissue Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Exosomes in a Patient with Cognitive Decline
In addition, he was given two peptides, Semax and Epitalon, to address cognitive decline.
Results: After 1 year of treatment using TPE with 5% albumin, UCT-MSC-EXs, Semax and Epitalon, the patient’s biological age was reduced by 7.9 years (from 75.93 to 68.03), and his telomere length increased from 6.45 to 6.59 kb. As the CNS-VS test documented, his cognitive function improved from April 2022 to December 2023.

and then
Epithalon (also known as Epitalon, Epithalone, or Epithalamin) is a small synthetic peptide that appears to activate the telomerase enzyme and may promote the release of melatonin. Experimental research has suggested its potential to slow down age-related alterations in reproductive and immune systems and improve the life span of mice and rats. Apart from its potential in regulating aging, the peptide also has played an important role in research conducted upon certain classes of cancer, infectious diseases, and DNA regulation.
Benefit
- May enhance sleep by stimulating the pineal gland, releasing more melatonin
- May stimulate the generation of telomerase
- May provide strong antioxidant properties
- May extend the workable integrity of the retina
There doesn’t appear to be a universal consensus on the dosing regimen for Epitalon
The Khavinson protocol, according to Ben Greenfield: 10 mg of Epitalon injected subcutaneously 3 times a week for 3 weeks straight, done once a year
Dr. Heather Smith-Fernandez: 1 mg of Epitalon injected subcutaneously every night.
An alternative Russian dosing protocol, according to Dr. William Seeds in his book Peptide Protocols, Volume 1: 10 mg of Epitalon injected intramuscularly every day for 10 days, done once every year for a total of two years.
The Ukrainian approach according to the International Peptide Society: 10 mg of Epitalon injected intramuscularly every THIRD day until you reach 50 mg total, done once every six months for a total of 3 years.

Epitalon increases telomere length in human cell lines through telomerase upregulation or ALT activity
This study confirms the previous results that epitalon increases telomere lengths in normal epithelial and fibroblast cells through the up-regulation of telomerase. We have provided quantitative data showing this for 2 normal human cell lines. Unexpectedly, we also observed telomere length increase in two telomerase-positive cancer cell lines however, this was found to occur through ALT activation. Importantly, ALT was not activated in normal cells. This would suggest that epitalon can be safely used in healthy individuals to maintain telomeres and thereby influence the aging process.
