Full disclaimerJF Tremblay's Anti-Aging Stack
A biochemist's anti-aging approach: Epithalon at ~3.3-5mg/day for 20-30 days (100mg total per cycle, 2-3x/year) plus BPC-157 in two modes: 10mg monthly high-dose pulse or 250mcg daily for 2 weeks on / 6 weeks off. Tremblay owns CanLab and has 30+ years in peptide manufacturing.
Peptide Schedule Research TeamReviewed Apr 2026
For anti-aging through extended epithalon cycles and dual-dose BPC-157, designed by a biochemist with 30+ years in peptide manufacturing.
What This Protocol Does
Epithalon at 3.3-5mg daily for 20-30 days (100mg total per cycle), repeated 2-3 times per year. This is longer than the standard 5-10 day Khavinson pulse. BPC-157 runs in two modes: either 250mcg daily for 2 weeks on, 6 weeks off, or a single 10mg high-dose pulse once monthly. The dual-dose BPC-157 approach gives you a choice between steady low-dose repair and periodic high-dose bursts. Tremblay owns CanLab, a peptide manufacturing company.
Who Should Use This
Advanced users comfortable with higher-than-standard dosing. The epithalon cycle (100mg total) is double the standard Khavinson protocol (50mg). The BPC-157 monthly pulse (10mg) is 20x the typical daily dose. Prior experience with both peptides individually is recommended before combining them at these levels. Tremblay has commercial interest as the owner of CanLab (peptide manufacturer), which is worth factoring into your evaluation.
What the Research Says
Epithalon was developed by Khavinson, whose published data shows telomerase activation in human cell cultures (Khavinson, PMID 14523363). Standard Khavinson dosing is 5-10mg daily for 5-10 days (50mg max per cycle). Tremblay's 100mg cycle exceeds this by 2x, based on his manufacturing and clinical experience. BPC-157 has 100+ preclinical studies on tissue repair (Sikiric et al., PMID 9073154). The 10mg single-dose approach has no published research behind it. Tremblay discussed his rationale on Ben Greenfield Life, citing 30+ years of peptide synthesis experience.
Important Notices
- Epithalon 100mg/cycle is higher than standard Khavinson protocol (50mg)
- BPC-157 10mg single dose is 20x standard
- Commercial interest: owns CanLab (peptide manufacturer)

Bryan Johnson's Thymus Rejuvenation Protocol
Epithalon + Thymosin Alpha 1
Bryan Johnson's thymus rejuvenation protocol from Project Blueprint. Epithalon (10mg/day) and Thymosin Alpha-1 (1.5mg/day) injected IM for 5 consecutive days, then nothing for 6 months. Follows the Khavinson protocol. Dosing sourced from tweets; the original post had ambiguous wording that the community later resolved. Budget $100-250 per pulse cycle.
30-Day Longevity Stack
SS-31 (Elamipretide) + Epithalon + Thymosin Alpha 1 +1
Four peptides, four aging mechanisms, 30 days. Ben Pakulski targets mitochondria with SS-31 (10mg daily), telomeres with Epithalon (5mg, 5x/week), immune function with TA-1 (1.5mg daily), and senescent cells with FOXO4-DRI (10mg EOD for 2 weeks). The FOXO4-DRI dose is 3.3x the standard aggressive tier. Budget $500-1,200 and consider starting with 1-2 peptides rather than all four simultaneously.
