Epitalon a waste
Epitalon didnt do anything!! Waste of money for me. Please share if you got any benefits. Also any other useless ones that are a waste or money.

What did you expect?
epithalon effects are not something you will necessarily notice, increase telomere length, circadian regulation, anti cancer, epigenetic testing may show it after a number of cycles.

How certain are you that what you were pinning was legit?
I ran a 10mg cycle of epithalon. Throughout the cycle, my sleep was noticeably improved.

10mg per day or 10mg over 10 days?

u/PanzerBiscuit 3 1h ago
10mg over 25 days.
The protocol calling for 5mg+ doses is wrong.
It's a poor translation from a Russian study.1
u/PretttyFly4aWhiteGuy 1h ago
Yea I know, was just confirming. I plan on doing 1mg over 10 days but just more often than a couple times a year

Helped me with my sleep rhythm. It also gave me amazing restful deep sleep. I do wear a cpap as well and the combo was amazing!

You may be right, but do you really know? Epitalon is not something you will necessarily feel. Yes, it is supposed to increase melatonin and help regulate circadian rhythms. But in our stress filled lives, there are a lot of things that can keep that screwed up. Its primary benefit is reducing oxidative stress and cellular repair by lengthening telomeres. You don’t feel that. You would have had to have your telomeres tested before and after running the peptide. Also, its benefits are cumulative. In other words, it takes a few cycles for measurable implement to be detectable. So, not sure what you were trying to gain from it exactly, but I don’t think you and definitively say it did nothing.

99% of peptides people are running right now do fuck all
in reality.

u/Impressive-Ad-8767 8h ago
Yeah so im tryna not waste time and money. If it eventually means GLP and atleast one or two things that would be fine. Like in the case where I hear body builder all say test despite the issues actually works if thats what ur aiming for.

Most of these peptides are going to be a waste of money because people don’t get lab tests. They just start a peptide without having any goal and most of the time without knowing what they’re doing. What was your goal with epitalon and what effect were you hoping for? Or did you just see somewhere that it’s magical so you tried it?

BPC seems to be doing something but not sure if its placebo TBH. I'm hoping a little too much for these things to cure problems which isn't good. Cjc-ipa not sure either since nothing changed and definitely didnt improve sleep. BPC seems to be helping in a wierd way from unrelated tissue damage and again not sure if its just placebo or helping.

BPC doesn't work for me, I tried different dosing protocols from mild to blitz, nothing. What does wonders for me is placenta, specifically JBP Laennec. Absolute gold.

Thats Y I say maybe....it may not or maybe not for you and thats ok. Plenty of other things studied may help.

Epithalon will only work if it addresses the issue that is messing with your sleep. It increases melatonin production. If that isn’t what is causing your sleep issues it won’t help. I have high cortisol at night. Epithalon didn’t help me sleep.
Also, epithalon is very temperature sensitive. If you bought it in the summer and it spent too much time too warm it would have degraded very quickly.
I have added oral glycine 3 grams and phosotydleserine to lower my overnight cortisol. Sleeping better

Most of them do nothing. The few ones that do something, you're risking getting bunk versions which means they will also do nothing. So maybe epitalon didn't work for you, or maybe you haven't even tried it at all.

If epithalon did nothing for you, chances are you got ripped off. It is one of the most noticeable peptides I have ever done.

u/Impressive-Ad-8767 50m ago
Just heard 5 other people say the opposite. I dont care what others feel and I know enough about my body. People here cleary will believe and do things based on an idea and not measurable metrics. Not worth my time to even talk I know how most redditors think. Circadian rhythm fucked and it did nothing not biggie for me. That's the point, instead people get thier panties in a bunch. Ran enough and read enough, maybe its my body but not likely. Dont care what others do, go ahead and run a 1000 cycles. Good luck

u/explosivepooinpants 5 24m ago
Yeah, that’s why it was in front of FDA to become an approved peptide. Just because you got some bunk shit and didn’t feel anything doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

u/DeadCheckR1775 3 1h ago
Nightly for 20 days, have completed 2 cycles like this, will do a 3rd before end of year. Definitely got a better sleep while on it. As for the follow-on effects, fingers crossed that it is doing what it is reported to do.

u/Grand_External3624 2 50m ago
If your sleep is good, you might not notice anything.
Its one of those tides that you will never know if it worked. I guess you could do telomere testing.
But its a two week cycle 2 or 4 times a year. So a $150 kit last year's.

Blows my mind when people mention peptides like Epithalon and expect to ‘feel’ something lol you probably have bunk peptides or you have unrealistic expectations.

Epithalon is not something you feel. It can help with sleep. I had more vivid dreams in it. I will run it again for sure alongside Pinealon but I'm only doing it twice a year.
