Buy Epitalon Peptide in Australia
Buy Epitalon in Australia from Macropus Peptides in two priced vial sizes, 10mg and 50mg. It is a synthetic four amino acid peptide, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, studied in cell and animal research on telomerase, gene expression and the biology of ageing, and it is the closest relative of our Cartalax tripeptide. Each vial holds freeze-dried research material under a crimped seal, labelled with compound, fill, lot number and storage temperature, and a certificate of analysis is available for every lot. The 10mg vial suits a first assay or protocol trial, while the 50mg vial holds five times the peptide for a small step up in price, giving the lowest cost per milligram. Order Epitalon online with bacteriostatic water for reconstitution, and your parcel ships from within Australia to any address in the country. Epitalon is sold to buyers aged 18 and over for laboratory research only, and is not for human or veterinary use.

Buy Epitalon Australia: 10mg and 50mg Vials
Macropus Peptides stocks this short synthetic peptide in two vial sizes, 10mg and 50mg, and both are priced and ready to order. It is a four amino acid sequence examined in cell and animal work on telomerase, gene activity and the biology of ageing, and we supply it as freeze-dried research material. The two fills share one source and one release process per lot, so choosing between them is a question of quantity and cost per milligram rather than quality.
What is Epitalon peptide
Epitalon, also spelled Epithalon and sometimes written AEDG, is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and glycine. It was designed as a single, defined molecule modelled on epithalamin, a crude peptide preparation extracted from the pineal gland of cattle, so that researchers could work with one known sequence instead of a mixed tissue extract. It belongs to the family of short peptide bioregulators, very small peptides associated with particular tissues. It has no registered medical use anywhere and is handled purely as a research compound. Its closest relative in our range is Cartalax, a tripeptide carrying the same first three residues without the terminal glycine.
How Epitalon works in research
Hormones and most larger peptides act by docking with a receptor on the outside of a cell. No such receptor has been identified for this tetrapeptide. The working hypothesis in the literature is that a molecule of only four residues can pass into the cell and reach the nucleus, where it is proposed to attach to DNA and to the histones wrapped around it, making certain genes easier or harder to read. The gene attracting most attention is TERT, which encodes the catalytic part of telomerase, the enzyme that adds repeat sequences to chromosome ends. In the laboratory, Epitalon is used to study telomerase activity, telomere length and gene transcription in cultured cells, and to compare closely related short sequences side by side.
Epitalon research: what the studies show
The published record is modest in size and comes largely from one research school, so it is best read as exploratory. Telomerase activity and telomere length were the readouts of a 2003 cell culture report, printed by the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, that worked with fetal fibroblasts of human origin. The same year, Biogerontology published a long-term study in female SHR mice that recorded biomarkers of ageing and spontaneous tumour incidence across the animals' lives. A 2020 paper in Molecules moved to stem cell culture, examining the expression of genes linked to nerve cell development and using molecular modelling to explore binding to histone proteins. Our Epitalon research studies library sets out the model and readouts of each paper.
Epitalon vial specifications
| Specification | Detail |

| Compound | Epitalon |
| Amount | 10 mg |
| Form | Lyophilised powder |
| Category | Longevity and cognitive |
| Storage | -20 °C, protect from light |
The tetrapeptide arrives as a dry white cake in a crimp-sealed glass vial. Printed on its label: compound name, milligram fill, lot code and freezer temperature. Quote that lot code and we match it to a certificate of analysis. Keep sealed vials frozen at about -20 °C and shielded from light; once water is added, hold the solution between 2 and 8 °C and avoid refreezing it. The aspartic acid and glycine pair at the end of the chain is prone to slow rearrangement in water, another reason to keep solutions cold and short-lived.
Epitalon price and cost per mg in Australia
| Strength | Price | Price per mg |
|---|---|---|
| Epitalon 10mg | $79.99 | $8.00 per mg |
| Epitalon 50mg | $99.99 | $2.00 per mg |
Both fills carry a fixed Australian dollar price. The 50mg vial holds five times as much peptide as the 10mg vial for a modest step up in price, so its cost per milligram is far lower. The smaller vial makes sense when you want to try a protocol before committing; the larger one wins on value as soon as more than a single 10mg vial would be needed.
Epitalon 10mg: where to buy in Australia
The 10mg vial is the entry point and the fill most searched for by name. It covers method development, a telomerase assay set-up or a first cell culture series on one lot. Two millilitres of water over the 10mg cake leaves 5 mg in every millilitre; halve the water and each millilitre carries 10 mg, handy where a stronger starting solution is wanted.
Epitalon 50mg: the better price per milligram
Our 50mg fill is aimed at longer programmes, parallel cell lines or comparison work against related bioregulators that must all draw on one batch. Bring it up to 5 mL and every millilitre carries 10 mg; take it to 10 mL and it matches the 5 mg strength of the smaller vial, so dilution schemes carry across unchanged. Split the dissolved peptide into single-use portions so that no aliquot is warmed and chilled more than once.
Best place to buy Epitalon Australia

How to buy Epitalon online
- Pick the 10mg or 50mg fill and set how many vials you want

- Consider Cartalax or NAD+ if your design compares pathways
- Pass checkout by confirming adult age and a research purpose
- Note the lot code on arrival and ask us for its certificate
Epitalon calculator: bac water volumes for the 10mg and 50mg vials
Divide the milligrams of tetrapeptide by the millilitres of water and you have the stock strength. The 10mg vial reaches 10 mg in each millilitre at 1 mL, 5 mg at 2 mL and 2.5 mg at 4 mL. The 50mg vial reaches 10 mg in each millilitre at 5 mL and 5 mg at 10 mL. A single bacteriostatic water 10mL vial holds enough diluent for either fill, and alternative diluents appear among our lab supplies and kits.
Is Epitalon available in Australia
Yes, but only as bench material. The tetrapeptide is absent from the ARTG and the TGA has never assessed it as a medicine, which rules out any supply for people or animals and we never offer it on that basis. Scheduling in the Poisons Standard gets revised periodically; have your organisation confirm where the compound sits before an order goes in.
Epitalon for sale Australia wide
Every parcel leaves our Australian packing bench for metropolitan and regional addresses across the country, from Townsville to Launceston and from Perth to Wagga Wagga. Researchers working on cellular ageing often pair it with NAD+ or the mitochondria-targeted SS-31, and all three come together in the longevity stack. A ready starter kit is also listed, while the wider longevity and cognitive range covers the remaining bioregulators.
