Concern about the peptide Epitalon. Too good to be true?

Original post in this thread

Nighthawkkk · 7 points

I am 19 and considering taking this. it slows down aging by a long shot, and there is quite a bit of research on it showing it drastically helping the elderly. My main concern is cancer.... one half claims it causes cancer, the other half claims it prevents it. Someone please give me a reason to take it, or a reason not to.

I am extremely interested in this peptide and really hope it works. what are all the drawbacks if there are any confirmed ones? (including speculations)

Anyone here take the stuff long term? what were the results?

I've spoken about it before.

Identification of the small research tetra peptide Epitalon, assumed to be a potential treatment for cancer, old age and Retinitis Pigmentosa

Inhibitory effect of the peptide epitalon on the development of spontaneous mammary tumors in HER‐2/neu transgenic mice

Inhibitory effect of peptide Epitalon on colon carcinogenesis induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in rats

Effect of the Synthetic Pineal Peptide Epitalon on Spontaneous Carcinogenesis in Female C3H/He Mice

Effect of Epitalon on biomarkers of aging, life span and spontaneous tumor incidence

The mechanisms of Epitalon are a lot more complex than just activating telomerase. It reduces lipid oxidation and ROS, along with normalizing T cell function. It seems to normalize cholesterol and uric acid, along with prolactin levels. So the increased length of telomeres is just a single part of it. I see no evidence that there is potential to unleash cancers, save for speculation. Again, it's a fairly unstudied peptide, and most of the studies we have are from Russia. So caution is always warranted.

Dipeptide analogs of piracetam, noopept, sulpiride,... exhibiting far superior potency and specificity to their putative mechanisms.

They are not talking about analogs of noopept. Noopept IS the analog they are discussing. The other compounds are not analogs of piracetam, either. They took inspiration from some of the functional groups, but they are V

I am not one for the whole "megadosing" thing that a lot of people try. However, I am human, and I do make mistakes. That is what happened yesterday. I was reading through Russian studies on SEMAX, and got myself confuse

IT'S HERE!!!! P21

Replying to janowski_d · u/MisterYouAreSoDumb any chance you can describe P21 and Orexin-A and how they affect you? I know basics of them, but still info is quite spare. Is Orexin-a worth trying on top o…

Here's the thing, I want to avoid giving my own anecdotes for a bit, to prevent confirmation bias. I don't want people seeing how I react, then convincing themselves they react the same way. I want people to try it thems

Negative. This is a brand new peptide we developed with no human clinical research, or any research of any kind. It should be treated as a research compound, and should not be purchased based on anecdotal effect statemen
