      PE 22-28 is a synthetic peptide derived from the larger epitalon peptide, which is known for its potential to regulate telomerase activity and promote cellular longevity. The peptide primarily acts by influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, regulating melatonin production, and potentially enhancing the body’s natural ability to repair and protect DNA. By modulating the activity of telomerase, PE 22-28 may play a role in extending telomeres, which protect chromosomes during cell division, thus contributing to anti-aging and regenerative processes. It also exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, which may reduce oxidative stress and protect against cellular damage.
