Hello, I'm wondering something about Epitalon peptide which is in trend now.

 

Can Epitalon suppress the endogenous pineal gland production of peptides due to the negative feedback (since if you add something exogenous in your body, then it will shutdown the endogenous).

 

Then there will be atrophy of some pineal cells, I wonder. Since in our body when something has no longer its purpose to exist, then it starts to die. (like testicles on roids..)

 

Tell me yours, greetings from Italy.

Coffee reduces the size of the pineal gland:

I have not seen studies that epitalon helps to reduce the size of the pineal gland. And I think that it does not reduce, since it is a peptide drug.

Peptides have a regulatory effect: if an organ's size is too small, they will restore it, and if it is too large, they will reduce it.

Feedback-loop reactions, like those seen with hormones, cannot occur after using Epitalon because it is a stimulator of the organ itself—in this case, the epiphysis (pineal gland).

The use of Epitalon for epiphysis injuries will lead to the division of epiphysis cells, as well as the conversion of dormant epiphyseal stem cells into functional epiphysis tissue.

What you should truly be concerned about is that using excessively high doses of Epitalon or an overly long course of treatment could harm your thymus.

Unfortunately this is what happened (1 year long course)

May I ask you, why it could has damaged my thymus? What is the proposed mechanism?

 

And then, I'll tell you what I found on the other hand in the meanwhile.

A one-year course is far too long. Such prolonged courses are not only harmful to the thymus but are also hypothesized to potentially deplete the reserve of stem cells in the organ targeted by the peptide. This is an irrational waste of resources, given that peptides have a "pendulum effect": a 10-day course sets the pendulum in motion, which then gradually slows down over a long period and ceases completely after 6 months. If you are healthy, there is no need to use peptides more often than once every 6 months.

Regarding the reasons for potential damage, I came across one Russian study which showed that the immune system reacts to peptides as antigens. There is also a gerontological theory that human evolution took the path of immunity with the emergence of the thymus, whereas peptides and the repair mechanism via them represent a rudimentary pathway of regeneration from which we have evolutionarily diverged.

I would recommend that you try to restore your thymus using natural thymus extracts, specifically their injectable forms.
