Epitalon Dosage

Khavinson pineal tetrapeptide (AEDG)

Epitalon has no approved label and no Western-validated human dose, so every dosing figure here traces back to older non-Western protocols or anecdotal use rather than a controlled trial or a prescribing guideline. We describe what circulates; we do not recommend it.^[1]^[2]

Dosing

There is no Western-validated human dose for epitalon. The figures discussed below come from older non-Western protocols and anecdotal use, not from controlled trials, so they are described rather than recommended:

Source of figuresOlder Russian protocols and vendor/anecdotal reports

Reported routeSubcutaneous injection

Reported patternShort daily courses over 10 – 20 days, sometimes repeated a few times per year

Validated human doseNone established in Western clinical practice

These are descriptions of circulating non-Western and anecdotal protocols, not a titration schedule or a recommendation. No controlled human dosing study anchors these numbers.

The most commonly repeated pattern is a short daily subcutaneous course over roughly 10 – 20 days, sometimes repeated a few times per year, echoing the original Russian epithalamin and epitalon course protocols. Because none of this is anchored to controlled human dosing research, treat the numbers as a description of circulating practice, not a schedule to follow.

Given that the human safety profile is poorly characterized and the underlying longevity claims are preliminary, anyone considering epitalon should discuss it with a doctor rather than rely on vendor or forum figures.

FAQ

What is the standard epitalon dose?There isn't one. No Western-validated human dose exists. Figures that circulate come from older non-Western protocols and anecdotal use, typically short subcutaneous courses over 10 – 20 days, and are not backed by controlled trials.

Why is the dosing so uncertain?Because epitalon's evidence base is largely preclinical and its human data are older, small, and non-Western. No controlled human dosing study anchors a specific amount, so any exact figure is descriptive rather than established.
