Given the increased expression of cysteine catabolic enzymes, such as cystathionine -synthase (CBS), cystathionine -lyase (CSE) and 3-MST in different cancer cell types, it is likely that their relevance for cancer development is shared between the production of H 2 S (detailed later in the article) and the accompanying generation of metabolites that constitute carbon sources
Benefits Epithalon is believed to help with: Telomere & cellular support: Epithalon has been shown to activate telomerase, extend telomeres, reduce chromosomal aberrations, and improve markers of DNA stability in cell and animal models, with some human data suggesting mortality reduction in older cohorts. Better sleep and circadian balance: Studies show Epithalon and related pineal peptides can restore nighttime melatonin release and normalize circadian rhythms in elderly humans and animals, which may improve sleep depth, energy, and hormonal balance. Multihallmark aging impact: Research suggests Epithalon influences oxidative stress resistance, immune function, neuroendocrine balance, and gene expression linked to longevity, making it a broad geroprotective candidate rather than a singlepathway tool. Structured, cyclical use: At Better Med Spa, Epithalon is used in short cycles with clear start/stop dates, labs when appropriate, and integration into sleep, nutrition, and stress protocols rather than as an indefinite, unsupervised supplement.
Glutathione (GSH), one of the main body antioxidants, could prevent this phenomenon, but its concentration decreases during aging. Luckily, there are now ways to get your glutathione benefits through medical intervention
These differences highlight the intrinsic advantages of tripeptides in both drug design and localized wound healing applications [14, 29, 68, 81]
Foods rich in sulfur, such as garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts, can help boost glutathione production
