Overview

Synthetic tetrapeptide studied for telomerase activation and telomere elongation. Russian researcher Khavinson has published 40+ years of bioregulatory research on this compound.

Treatments studied

Treatment categories

Age-related decline

Proposed to activate telomerase, addressing one of the core cellular mechanisms of aging.

Cancer prevention (research)

Has shown oncogene-suppressing activity in several preclinical cancer models.

Circadian rhythm disruption

Helps normalize pineal gland melatonin production, which governs the sleep-wake cycle.

Immune aging

Studied for its ability to support immune cell function as immune capacity naturally declines with age.

Longevity

Central to Khavinson's bioregulatory peptide research into extending cellular lifespan via telomere maintenance.
