Plain English Summary
Epithalon, a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), has been studied for its potential geroprotective properties, including antioxidant effects, modulation of melatonin synthesis, and influence on lifespan extension in several animal models. Its mechanisms include enhancing telomerase activity and slowing the aging process, though further research is needed to validate these effects in humans.

SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic peptide designed to target mitochondria. It acts as an antioxidant that stabilizes the inner mitochondrial membrane, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress, improve energy production, and reduce cell death in conditions involving mitochondrial dysfunction.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to target and protect mitochondria. By stabilizing the inner mitochondrial membrane and interacting with cardiolipin, it helps maintain mitochondrial energy production and reduce the generation of damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by stress or age-related dysfunction.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeted peptide designed to stabilize the inner mitochondrial membrane by binding to cardiolipin. It is primarily researched for its ability to reduce oxidative stress, improve mitochondrial bioenergetics, and protect against cellular damage in conditions involving ischemia, inflammation, and aging-related degeneration.
Thymosin Alpha-1
A naturally occurring peptide derived from the thymus gland that plays a key role in immune regulation. FDA-approved in some countries for hepatitis and used off-label for immune support and cancer adjunct therapy.
