Epitalon reference dosing
> Updated:
Human schedule
Epitalon (the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is administered subcutaneously in short courses across research and clinical protocols. The table below generalizes the described regimens; it is not a prescription.
This is a concise reference to regimens described for adults; it is not an individual prescription.
Epitalon dosing in the schedule below is always tied to a short course, 10-20 consecutive days, rather than continuous daily use, reflecting the logic of peptide bioregulators built for short-term action rather than a steady blood level.
| Period / condition | Dose | Escalation |
|---|---|---|
| Course, 10–20 consecutive days | 5–10 mg per day subcutaneously | Primary regimen |
| Shorter intensive course | 10 mg per day × 10 days | Alternative option |
| Course repetition | 2–3 times per year | Maintenance, if needed |
Practical dosing and effect details
Epitalon, the synthetic tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, is used in research and clinical protocols in courses rather than continuously. Just four amino acids in the chain mean fast enzymatic breakdown in blood, so daily injections through the course maintain a short, repeated concentration peak rather than a steady level. That logic is shared across the Khavinson-group peptide bioregulators: a short course of daily injections is meant to trigger a short-term effect, while continuous use is neither described nor the protocol's goal.
The schedule on this page, 5-10 mg per day over 10-20 days, or a shorter intensive course of 10 mg times 10 days, repeated 2-3 times a year, reflects that same course logic: the pause between courses is as much a part of the regimen as the dose itself. The dose is set for a specific experiment, so the figures above are a reference point from described protocols, not a fixed standard.
