What it is
An experimental peptide studied in human cell cultures. Source: Cell study: epitalon and telomere length
What it has been studied for
Telomere biology in cultured cells; this does not establish longer human lifespan. Source: Cell study: epitalon and telomere length
Mechanism
Changes in telomerase or alternative telomere-maintenance activity were observed in cell lines. Source: Cell study: epitalon and telomere length
Documented dosing
No applicable general-use human dose range, frequency or cycle is documented here. Numbers from other routes, formulations or conditions are not interchangeable.
Pairings & cautions
No evidence-based peptide pairing is specified in this entry.
