Epitalon Dosing Calculator
Epitalon (Epithalone) is not FDA or EMA approved.
Pre-filled with the most-reported community reconstitution protocol for Epitalon. See how 1 mL and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water change concentration and syringe-draw volume, then adjust the calculator below for your own vial.
Quick answer · Community-reported standard
A 10 mg vial of Epitalon reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 5.00 mg/mL. At that concentration, a 1 mg dose of Epitalon equals 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.200 mL). Epitalon is typically administered once daily via subcutaneous.
Epitalon reconstitution: 1 mL vs 2 mL bac water
Bacteriostatic water volume is flexible. Less water means higher concentration and smaller injection volumes; more water means lower concentration and easier dose precision. Both options below are valid for a 10 mg vial.
| BAC water added | Concentration | Volume per 1 mg dose | Draw on U-100 syringe (units) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 10.00 mg/mL | 0.100 mL | 10 units |
| 2 mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 0.200 mL | 20 units |

Alternative Epitalon protocols
Beyond the default above, Epitalon is also reported in the following protocols. Use these as starting points and recalculate with the tool above.
Higher-Dose Telomere Protocol
Community- Dose
- 5-10 mg
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 10-20 days, repeated 2-3 times per year
- Route
- Subcutaneous
Higher dose used by those specifically targeting telomere elongation; most sources cap at 10 mg/day maximum
Oral/Sublingual Protocol
Community- Dose
- 5-10 mg
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 10-30 days
- Route
- Oral
As a tetrapeptide, epitalon may have some oral bioavailability; capsule forms available from bioregulator suppliers
Intranasal Protocol
Community- Dose
- 1-5 mg
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 10-20 days
- Route
- Intranasal
Intranasal delivery for potential direct CNS access and pineal gland effects
Khavinson Animal/Clinical Research Protocol
Clinical- Dose
- 10 mg daily
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 10 to 20 consecutive days
Based on publications from the Khavinson group; administered intramuscularly in original studies. Cycled every 4 to 6 months. No dose-finding studies have been published.
Epitalon reconstitution & storage
No manufacturer-specific reconstitution instructions exist. Standard peptide reconstitution practice: add bacteriostatic water slowly to lyophilized powder, allow to dissolve without shaking. Typical research preparations use sterile water or bacteriostatic water.
Lyophilized powder: store at -20 degrees Celsius or colder. Reconstituted solution: store at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius (refrigerated) and use within a limited timeframe. Protect from light. No formal stability data have been published.
Epitalon dosing FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 10 mg vial of Epitalon?
The community standard is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg Epitalon vial. That gives a concentration of 5.00 mg/mL, so a 1 mg dose is 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 10.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 10 units. Less water = smaller injection volume but harder to measure precisely.
How many syringe units is a 1 mg dose of Epitalon?
On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, a 1 mg dose of Epitalon is 20 units when the 10 mg vial is reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (5.00 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 10 units (10.00 mg/mL).
What is the standard Epitalon dose?
Community-reported protocols for Epitalon typically use 1 mgâ5 mg once daily via Subcutaneous. 1 mg is a common starting dose. Most commonly reported protocol; 5 mg/day for 20 days is the standard cycle, following the Khavinson bioregulator cycling pattern
How long does a vial of Epitalon last at 1 mg once daily?
A 10 mg vial of Epitalon contains roughly 10 doses at 1 mg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 10 days (about 1 weeks) of supply per vial. Reconstituted Epitalon should generally be used within 28 days when refrigerated.
Where do you inject Epitalon?
Epitalon is typically injected subcutaneous. Common sites reported in the literature and by users include: Intramuscular (original Khavinson protocol), Subcutaneous (commonly described in non-clinical settings). Rotate sites with each injection to reduce localized irritation.
Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for Epitalon?
Bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) is strongly preferred for multi-dose vials like Epitalon because it inhibits microbial growth and lets a single vial be used over multiple weeks. Sterile water has no preservative and should generally be reserved for single-use preparations only.
