## FAQ

### What is the difference between Epitalon and N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate?

N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate is Epitalon (AEDG tetrapeptide) with an acetyl group added at the N-terminus and an amide at the C-terminus; these end-caps resist exopeptidase degradation and may improve stability in lab experiments.

### Why are the N-acetyl and C-amide modifications added to Epitalon?

The acetyl and amide groups act as protective end-caps, shielding the peptide from exopeptidases—enzymes that degrade chains from the ends—to improve resistance to breakdown and stability in laboratory research settings.

### What areas of biology is the Epitalon peptide family investigated in?

It is studied in laboratory and animal-model settings for telomerase (hTERT) expression, replicative capacity of cultured cells, circadian and melatonin rhythms linked to pineal function, and general markers of cellular aging.
