Where to Buy Epithalon in the UK
Epithalon is a four-residue peptide, cheap to synthesise and easy to misidentify. This guide explains why mass spectrometry matters here and what is available in the UK.

Overview
What Is Epithalon?
Epithalon (also written epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide — alanine-glutamate-aspartate-glycine — studied in telomere and cellular ageing research models. Its very short sequence means identity confirmation is the primary analytical check rather than purity alone. It is supplied as lyophilised powder in a sealed vial.
Classification
Synthetic tetrapeptide research compound
Format supplied
vial
Sequence
Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG), 4 amino acids
Alternative names
Epitalon, AEDG peptide; distinct from the extract Epithalamin
Purity specification
99% minimum by HPLC with the trace included in the batch pack
Research use only
Not a medicine. Not for human or veterinary consumption.
Available Options
Epithalon Options Available From Arma Peptides
Epithalon is supplied as a single lyophilised vial. Given how inexpensive the synthesis is, the meaningful comparison between UK listings is documentation quality rather than price.

Due Diligence
Epithalon: a Four-Residue Peptide Where Net Content Is Everything
Epithalon, also written Epitalon or Epithalamin, is a tetrapeptide. Four residues is a trivial synthesis, so the price differences across the UK market do not reflect difficulty.
- STEP 01
Three Spellings, One Compound
Epithalon, Epitalon and AEDG peptide all refer to the same Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly sequence. Epithalamin, by contrast, is a pineal extract and is not the same thing. Certificates should name the sequence, not the trade spelling.
- STEP 02
Very High Purity Is Expected, Not Impressive
A tetrapeptide should reach 99% comfortably. Regard the purity figure as a baseline and put the weight of your assessment on net peptide content and identity.
- STEP 03
Two Acidic Residues Affect the Salt Form
Glutamate and aspartate make Epithalon strongly acidic, so the counterion and its proportion of vial mass are significant. A certificate silent on the salt form is incomplete.
- STEP 04
Cheap Compounds Get Careless Paperwork
Because Epithalon is inexpensive, many suppliers do not batch-test it at all. Ours carries the same lot-matched chromatogram and independent analysis as compounds ten times the price.
This compound is sold for in-vitro and laboratory research only. It holds no UK marketing authorisation and must not be administered to humans or animals.
Handling & Delivery
Epithalon Storage and Reconstitution
Short acidic peptides are chemically robust and physically hygroscopic, and Epithalon is a textbook case.
Equilibrate Before Opening
Let the sealed vial reach room temperature. Opening it cold puts condensation onto a hygroscopic powder, which is the usual cause of clumping.
Dissolves Immediately
Epithalon goes into aqueous solution fast. Immediate, clear dissolution is the expected behaviour and anything slower deserves a question.
Good Solution Stability
Refrigerated, reconstituted Epithalon is stable for a few weeks, better than most longer peptides. Aliquot anyway if the work spans months.
Same-Day Tracked Dispatch
Orders placed before the daily cut-off leave the same working day, tracked, in plain outer packaging, with fast UK & EU delivery from Arma Nova Pharma.
FAQ
Epithalon in the UK: Questions Researchers Ask Before Ordering
+Is Epithalon legal to buy in the UK?
Yes, for laboratory research use. It is not a licensed medicine and is not supplied for human or veterinary consumption.
+Are Epithalon and Epitalon the same?
Yes — different transliterations of the same Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide, also called AEDG peptide. Epithalamin is a different material entirely, being a pineal extract rather than a defined synthetic peptide.
+Why is Epithalon so cheap compared with other peptides?
Because it is only four residues long. Synthesis cost scales with chain length, so a tetrapeptide is a fraction of the cost of a 39-residue compound. Low price here is not a quality signal in either direction.
+Is it spelled Epithalon or Epitalon?
Both spellings appear in the literature and in supplier catalogues for the same tetrapeptide. If a listing uses one spelling, the Certificate of Analysis should still state the amino acid sequence, which is what actually identifies the compound.
+Why does such a short peptide still need a COA?
Because a short sequence is inexpensive to substitute and can return a high purity figure while being the wrong molecule entirely. The molecular weight on the mass spectrometry report is what confirms the sequence.
+What should I check on the certificate?
The sequence written out, the salt form, net peptide content, residual moisture, and mass-spectrometry identity. Purity will almost certainly be high and is the least informative number on the page.
+How long does reconstituted Epithalon last?
Refrigerated at 2–8 °C, a few weeks is reasonable. It is more stable in solution than most longer peptides, though single-use aliquots remain best practice.
+What are my return rights?
Unopened vials in original sealed packaging can be returned within 14 days of receipt. Unsealed vials are excluded for health-protection reasons; statutory rights on faulty or misdescribed goods still apply.
