Meccanismo d'azione
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.
Vasopressin
Vasopressin binds V1 receptors (vasoconstriction, raising vascular resistance) and V2 receptors (renal water reabsorption via aquaporin channels). This raises blood pressure and acts antidiuretically. Desmopressin is the V2-selective synthetic analog.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Epitalon and Vasopressin?
- Epitalon is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Vasopressin 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. Vasopressin: Vasopressin (arginine vasopressin, antidiuretic hormone/ADH) is a cyclic nonapeptide hormone that regulates water balance and vascular tone. As Vasostrict it is approved to raise blood pressure in vasodilatory shock. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Epitalon or Vasopressin?
- The highest available evidence level is "Studio sull'uomo" for Epitalon and "RCT sull'uomo" for Vasopressin. 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 Vasopressin in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Epitalon — Non approvato, Vasopressin — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Epitalon — Non approvato, Vasopressin — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
