Anti-Aging Stack
Target aging at multiple levels: Epithalon activates telomerase to lengthen telomeres, GHK-Cu stimulates collagen production and gene repair, and NAD+ restores cellular energy and activates longevity pathways.
Epithalon
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a tetrapeptide that activates telomerase, the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres — the protective caps on chromosomes that shorten with age. Developed by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson, who studied it for over 20 years, it's used in short, intensive cycles to promote cellular age reversal. Research shows it can increase telomere length, normalize melatonin production, and improve overall lifespan markers.
| Level | Dose / Injection | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 5mg | Daily |
| Moderate | 10mg | Daily |
| Aggressive | 10mg | Daily |
GHK-Cu
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide that declines with age. It's one of the most studied anti-aging peptides, with research showing it stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes wound healing, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and even promotes hair regrowth. Available both as injectable and topical formulations, it works at the genetic level — activating over 4,000 genes involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
| Level | Dose / Injection | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 200mcg | Daily |
| Moderate | 500mcg | Daily |
| Aggressive | 1mg | Daily |
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme present in every living cell, essential for energy production, DNA repair, and cellular signaling. NAD+ levels decline up to 50% between ages 40-60, contributing to aging, fatigue, and cognitive decline. Injectable NAD+ bypasses the digestive system to restore cellular levels directly. It activates sirtuins (longevity genes) and supports mitochondrial function.
| Level | Dose / Injection | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 100mcg | 2x/week |
| Moderate | 250mcg | 2x/week |
| Aggressive | 500mcg | 3x/week |
Protocol Tips
- Epithalon is run in short cycles: 10-20 days, then off for 4-6 months.
- GHK-Cu can be used topically for skin or injected for systemic effects.
- NAD+ may sting on injection — inject slowly.
- These can be run concurrently or sequenced.
