Epithalon Dosage Chart & Schedule
A synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal peptide epithalamin, studied in longevity research — notably for reported effects on telomerase activity in cell and animal models.
Research-community references commonly cite about 5-10 mg per day given as a short course of roughly 10-20 days, repeated only once or twice a year rather than taken continuously.
Figures describe how Epithalon is reported in the research literature and research-community references — not a recommendation for human use. For laboratory research only.
Dosage protocols
Commonly referenced research tiers. Start conservative; every compound and study context differs.
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Weekly total
- 35 mg/week (during cycle)
- Cycle
- 10-20 day course, 1-2x per year
Lower end of the commonly referenced daily range across a short course.
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Weekly total
- 70 mg/week (during cycle)
- Cycle
- 10-20 day course, 1-2x per year
Upper end of the referenced daily range; the course is run intermittently, not continuously.
Cycled by design
- References describe short courses of about 10-20 days repeated only once or twice a year, not daily long-term use.
- Longevity research associates it with induction of telomerase and modulation of melatonin and circadian signaling; human clinical evidence is limited.

Dosing is only as good as the vial. Research-grade peptides are third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
Weekly schedule

Epithalon reconstitution
50 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 25,000 mcg/mL (25 mg/mL) — the common mix; 1 unit ≈ 0.25 mg.
From vial to injection in 6 steps
Wipe both vial tops
Swab the peptide vial and the bacteriostatic-water vial with fresh alcohol and let them dry.
Draw the water
Pull the planned amount of bacteriostatic water (2 mL) into the syringe.
Add it slowly
Run the water down the inside wall of the vial — don't blast the powder. Swirl gently; never shake.
Let it dissolve
Wait until the solution is fully clear, then refrigerate the vial.
Draw your dose
Pull the calculated units on a U-100 insulin syringe (~20 units for 5 mg).
Store between uses
Keep the reconstituted vial refrigerated and use within its stable window.
Handling & storage
- A 50 mg vial + 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 25 mg/mL, so 5 mg draws to about 20 units and 10 mg to about 40 units on a U-100 syringe.
- One reconstituted vial covers a short course; refrigerate and use within a limited window.
- Keep the lyophilized powder cool and dark before mixing.
Epithalon dosing FAQ
How long is an Epithalon course?
References commonly describe a short course of about 10-20 days at roughly 5-10 mg per day, repeated only once or twice per year rather than taken continuously.
Once daily or split?
It is usually referenced as a single daily injection during the course; its short half-life is why dosing is concentrated into brief cycles.
What draws up on a syringe?
From a 50 mg vial in 2 mL (25 mg/mL): 5 mg = about 20 units and 10 mg = about 40 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
