Plain English Summary
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide (Lysine-Glutamate) studied primarily in Eastern European research contexts as an 'anti-aging bioregulator.' It is believed to modulate gene expression and influence chromatin structure, potentially helping to reactivate genes that become silenced or condensed during the aging process.

NAD+
NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell that's critical for energy metabolism and cellular repair. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which has made NAD+ supplementation (and precursors like NMN and NR) popular in the longevity space.
Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly)
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide synthesized from a sequence derived from the bovine pineal gland extract, known for its potential geroprotective and neuroendocrine effects. It has been studied for its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, as well as its influence on melatonin synthesis and cellular health. Research suggests that Epithalon may enhance longevity and suppress tumor development in animal models, making it an intriguing candidate in aging and cancer research.
MOTS-c
A mitochondria-derived peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA that regulates metabolic homeostasis. Associated with longevity, insulin sensitivity, and exercise mimicry — sometimes called an 'exercise in a shot.'
Epithalon Compound Profile
Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a therapeutic tetrapeptide known for its geroprotective and neuroendocrine properties, primarily linked to antioxidant effects and modulation of melatonin synthesis. It has shown potential in extending lifespan and reducing cancer incidence in animal studies, though human research is limited.
