What is Epithalon?
A synthetic pineal tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the peptide complex epithalamin, studied in aging and longevity research for reported effects on telomerase activity and melatonin/circadian regulation. Preclinical / investigational.

What is NAD+?
A ubiquitous redox coenzyme central to cellular energy metabolism and a substrate for enzymes such as sirtuins and PARPs; it is a coenzyme, not a peptide. Studied in aging, metabolic, and neurological research; cellular levels reportedly decline with age.
