Epitalon Dosing Calculator
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 100 mg vial of Epitalon reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 50.00 mg/mL. At that concentration, a 1 mg dose of Epitalon equals 2 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.020 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 100 mg vial.
| BAC water added | Concentration | Volume per 1 mg dose | Draw on U-100 syringe (units) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 100.00 mg/mL | 0.010 mL | 1 units |
| 2 mL | 50.00 mg/mL | 0.020 mL | 2 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 100 mg vial of Epitalon?
The community standard is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 100 mg Epitalon vial. That gives a concentration of 50.00 mg/mL, so a 1 mg dose is 2 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 100.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 1 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 2 units when the 100 mg vial is reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (50.00 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 1 units (100.00 mg/mL).
What is the standard Epitalon dose?
Community-reported protocols for Epitalon typically use 1 mg–5 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 100 mg vial of Epitalon contains roughly 100 doses at 1 mg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 100 days (about 14 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.
