How to store Epithalon
Practical storage protocol for Epithalon: temperature, light, reconstitution timing, and shelf life in a research setting.
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) storage
Unreconstituted Epithalon, like most research peptides, is stable when stored in its original sealed vial at -20°C for long-term storage. For short-term use (under 3 months), refrigeration at 2-8°C is acceptable. The vial must be protected from direct light and moisture.
Peptify dispatches Epithalon in temperature-tolerant packaging from the UK, usually arriving within 24-48 hours of dispatch.
After reconstitution
Once Epithalon is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water, 0.9% benzyl alcohol), the solution should be stored at 2-8°C (refrigerated) and used within 28 days. Bacteriostatic water's preservative system inhibits microbial growth for roughly four weeks after first puncture — significantly longer than sterile water, which must be used immediately.
Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Never leave the vial at room temperature for extended periods, and keep it in its original rubber-stoppered vial to minimise contamination risk.
Shelf life and quality verification
Peptify publishes a batch-specific expiry date on every Epithalon COA, alongside HPLC chromatogram data and mass spectrometry confirmation. The full Certificate of Analysis for your specific batch is downloadable from the product page.

Frequently asked questions
What is Epithalon?
Epithalon is a synthetic version of Epithalamin, a peptide naturally produced by the pineal gland. It is researched for activating telomerase, the enzyme that maintains telomere length.
What is Epithalon researched for?
Epithalon is studied in published literature on telomerase activation, telomere maintenance, and cellular longevity pathways. Preclinical research has examined effects on circadian rhythm regulation and pineal gland function.
What purity should Epithalon be?
Research-grade Epithalon should be 99%+ HPLC-verified. Every Peptify Epithalon batch is independently tested by Janoshik Analytical with a downloadable batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.
