Epitalon TFA(CAT: I046031) is the trifluoroacetate salt of Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), a synthetic tetrapeptide originally derived from the pineal gland. Epitalon is widely studied for its potential anti-aging, antioxidant, and telomerase-activating effects. Preclinical studies suggest that it may regulate cell cycle activity, support telomere elongation, and enhance stress resistance, thereby influencing longevity and age-associated processes. Epitalon has also been linked to modulation of circadian rhythm, immune function, and neuroprotection. Supplied as a TFA salt for stability and solubility, Epitalon TFA is a valuable tool for research in gerontology, oxidative stress biology, and peptide-based therapeutic development.
