What dose are you guys using for Epitalon and how long are you running it? Also curious if bedtime actually matters or if people just take it then because of the sleep benefits.
I ran mine before bed and noticed the sleep effect almost immediately. By the third or fourth night I was ready to pass out around the same time every evening, which is not normal for me at all.
I’m interested in this too. Most of what I’ve saved lately is 1mg at night for 20 days, then several months off. The older 10mg dosing gets repeated everywhere without much explanation of whether they mean per dose or total for the cycle.
First off I love Epitalon. Second of all, all those public forums and social media posts saying to take 10mg per dose of Epitalon are wrong. This is a classic case of everyone regurgitating someone that heard or read. The 10mg comes from Epithalamin.
Epithalamin = crude pineal extract. A mix of many short peptides plus a lot of other material. AEDG is one sequence they pulled out of that mix.
Epitalon = that one sequence, made synthetically: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Four amino acids. Nothing else from the gland. It is an isolated fragment that was then manufactured from scratch.
That's the technical piece. Long story short you want to use Epitalon for circadian rhythm reset. The telomere thing for longevity as far as I'm concerned is total BS. You want to pin Epitalon right before bed, start at 500mcg and only titrate up to 1mg if you think you need a larger dose as your sleep aid. When I did a 14 day cycle, I started at 500mcg and honestly within 20min of pinning on that first night I was ready to sleep standing up. I had so much trouble turning my brain off and Epitalon was a life saver in this regard. I slept so far for that the cycle and it honestly continued for weeks and months. I'd say up until recently my sleep has been really good. I'm a bit stress out now so that could have something to do with it. Anyway, you can run Epitalon 2-3x a year, but only use when you see sleep struggles. It also pairs really nicely with DSIP.
Thank you because the 10mg comments were exactly what confused me. I thought people meant 10mg in one shot and couldn’t figure out how that was supposed to work.
