Head-to-head
Epithalon vs Elamipretide
Side by side from the same data: half-life, evidence tier, research amounts, common schedule, and every decay curve on one chart.
How they differ
A plain-language read of what actually sets them apart. Reference only, not medical advice.
Both get sold under a longevity banner but stand on very different evidence. Epithalon is a tiny four-piece peptide whose human data traces back to a single research group. Elamipretide (SS-31) targets the cell's energy factories (mitochondria), was run through a proper trial, and became a licensed US medicine in 2025 at 40 mg a day. Both clear within a few hours.

These amounts and schedules are figures discussed in research and community reports, shared for learning — not a recommendation and not medical advice. A step-by-step dosing schedule exists only where a human trial backs it; the evidence tier tells you which.
Decay curves, overlaid
Every compound on one chart — something the single-compound pages cannot show.
Each line is scaled to that compound's own first dose, so the chart shows how each one builds up over time — not how the compounds' doses compare to one another, which these different molecules share no common unit for.
