Summary
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed from the pineal gland extract Epithalamin by Russian scientist Dr. Vladimir Khavinson. It is one of the most researched longevity peptides, known for activating telomerase and extending telomere length — the molecular hallmarks of cellular aging.
Bronchogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator designed for the bronchi and lungs, promoting normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function. Research suggests benefits for respiratory health, protection against pulmonary aging, and support for bronchopulmonary conditions.
Half-Life

Frequency
0.5–1 mg daily
Daily for 10–30 days
Key Benefits
  • Activates telomerase enzyme, extending telomere length
  • May slow cellular and biological aging
  • Regulates melatonin production and circadian rhythms
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Powerful antioxidant properties
  • May reduce incidence of age-related diseases
  • Supports immune system function
  • Studied for cancer prevention properties in animal models
  • Tissue-specific support for bronchial and lung health
  • Promotes normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function
  • Potential benefits in chronic bronchitis and COPD support
  • Anti-aging effects on pulmonary tissue
  • May reduce frequency of respiratory infections
  • Supports lung function preservation with aging
  • Compatible with other Khavinson bioregulator peptides
Side Effects
  • Injection site irritation (mild)
  • Temporary sleep changes during cycle (usually improves)
  • Rare: fatigue
  • Generally well tolerated in research studies
  • Mild local reactions at injection site (if injected)
  • No significant systemic side effects reported at standard doses
