Mechanism of Action

A naturally occurring tetrapeptide that induces telomerase enzyme activity by upregulating hTERT mRNA expression. Promotes dose-dependent telomere length extension in normal human epithelial and fibroblast cells. Regulates melatonin production and circadian rhythm.

Research-Backed Benefits

  • Telomere lengthening via hTERT upregulation
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Enhanced melatonin production
  • Anti-aging effects at cellular level
  • Telomerase activation for longevity
