3 shared reports from peptracks researchers who logged Epitalon: 1 benefit and 2 adverse events. Each report shows what else the person was running at the time.

I’ve heard that this is a standard side effect of the peptide but hadn’t experienced it yet. I assume it’s this protocol as I’ve been using the others for months now and Epitalon is my most recent addition.
I'm doing the maximum dose for 10 days. It seems like a lot. Considering lowering my dose and extending the cycle.
It doesn't so much help with initial sleep onset, but it does seem to help with staying asleep or going back to sleep if I'm woken up. AND I've been waking up very refreshed.
What is your dose - I don't struggle with sleep onset, rather staying asleep so this would be perfect.
I’m currently at 500 mcg nightly
I’m considering taking this. Did you start at 500 mcg or titrate up to that? The dose suggestions I’m seeing online are insanely high - like 5 to 10 mg several times a week.
I started at those super high doses (5mg for 10 days) and backed off. I’m seeing online that the high dosage protocol was based on Russian research that used the naturally occurring Epithalamin. The synthetic form we use - Epitalon - is supposed to be 10X stronger. So I backed waaaaay off and got much better results. I found that a lot of the peptide vendor sites still suggest the Russian Epithalamin protocol!
@inanna I noticed that about vendor sites as well. Thanks - I’ll start low when I start.
@meemaw_lifter starting low is always the best strategy IMO
