Epitalon
Postulated mechanisms include modulation of gene expression in pinealocytes, telomerase activation (observed in cell culture studies) and influence on melatonin synthesis. A defined primary receptor is not established; the mechanistic basis rests on in-vitro and animal data from the Khavinson group.
Triptorelin
Triptorelin binds with high affinity to the GnRH receptor in the pituitary. After initial stimulation of LH and FSH secretion (flare phase, about 1-2 weeks), receptor desensitisation follows with consecutive gonadotropin suppression. This results in a reversible chemical castration: in men testosterone, in women oestrogen suppression to the postmenopausal range.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Epitalon and Triptorelin?
- Epitalon is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Triptorelin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Epitalon: Synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the pineal extract epithalamin (V. Khavinson, St. Petersburg). Investigated in the Russian research and anti-ageing context; Western controlled trials are largely absent. No medicines approval in EU or US. Triptorelin: Synthetic decapeptide GnRH agonist with increased affinity over native gonadotropin-releasing hormone. FDA- and EMA-approved since the 1980s for prostate cancer, endometriosis and precocious puberty. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Epitalon or Triptorelin?
- The highest available evidence level is "Studio sull'uomo" for Epitalon and "RCT sull'uomo" for Triptorelin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Epitalon and Triptorelin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Epitalon — Non approvato, Triptorelin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Epitalon — Non approvato, Triptorelin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
