Across preclinical studies, Epitalon has shown: Telomerase activation and telomere extension: Via TRAP assays and fibroblast lifespan extension beyond the Hayflick limit Epigenetic remodeling: Reversal of chromatin aging, histone modulation, and gene promoter binding Redox homeostasis: Increased antioxidant enzymes (SOD, NQO1, catalase) and reduced ROS, lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage Circadian restoration: Upregulation of AANAT/pCREB, normalized melatonin and cortisol rhythms, and clock gene modulation in humans Cancer risk reduction: Reduced tumor multiplicity and delayed onset in HER-2/neu and colon cancer models

Cellular protection: As an antioxidant, glutathione fights against free radicals
The general reaction involves formation of an unsymmetrical disulfide from the protectable protein (RSH) and GSH: [24] RSH + GSH + [O] GSSR + H 2 O Glutathione is also employed for the detoxification of methylglyoxal and formaldehyde, toxic metabolites produced under oxidative stress
Some clinical trials have used 1 mg per day , although higher doses do not necessarily produce better results
