Peptide storage is not only about whether a compound might still be active

Similarly, in another work, it was suggested that intracellular ROS generation is low and is upregulated by Nrf2-induced GCLC expression, which allows the self-renewal of CSCs through the Fork head box O3a-Bmil-axis (Kim et al., 2020)
If verified in humans, this would position epitalon not merely as a telomere compound, but as something operating at the level of epigenetic clocks the same biological machinery measured by tools like the Horvath clock to determine biological age
Up to 3 grams daily for 6 weeks, then reducing to 1.5-2 grams per day is considered effective
