Epitalon

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) that owners most often ask about in relation to healthy ageing in senior dogs and cats.

Epitalon is a four-amino-acid peptide originally derived from work on pineal-gland peptide extracts, and is associated with cellular-ageing pathways. Almost every conversation our veterinary team has about Epitalon starts with a senior animal and an owner who wants to keep it comfortable and engaged for as long as possible. That is a reasonable goal, and it is worth saying that no peptide extends a life on its own — weight management, dental care, pain control, and regular examinations do far more. Our supervising veterinarian reviews the animal's full picture, including any age-related disease already present, before deciding whether Epitalon has any role. Any protocol is set individually. Epitalon is not approved by the FDA for use in animals.

Veterinarian-Supervised Program

Every peptide protocol in this section is set and overseen by our supervising veterinarian. Nothing on these pages is a diagnosis, a prescription, or a substitute for examining your animal — dosing is determined individually after veterinary review of your pet's species, weight, age, medications and health history. Peptides are used alongside, never instead of, care from a licensed veterinarian. These products are not approved by the FDA for use in animals. If your animal is unwell, injured, or showing new symptoms, contact a veterinarian first.
