Werkingsmechanisme
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.
Sekretin
Secretin binds the Gs-coupled secretin receptor (SCTR) on pancreatic duct cells, opens CFTR chloride channels and triggers secretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic fluid and bile flow.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Epitalon and Sekretin?
- Epitalon is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Sekretin is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". 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. Sekretin: Secretin is a 27-amino-acid hormone that regulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. As ChiRhoStim it is FDA-approved as a diagnostic agent (pancreatic function test, gastrinoma test, secretin-enhanced MRCP). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Epitalon or Sekretin?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane studie" for Epitalon and "Humane studie" for Sekretin. 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 Sekretin in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Epitalon — Niet goedgekeurd, Sekretin — Op recept. Verenigde Staten: Epitalon — Niet goedgekeurd, Sekretin — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
