How is Epithalon prescribed through Protocol MD?

We place a hold on your card at checkout, and if they decide it isn't right for you, the hold is released and you're never charged.
Do I need insurance?
No insurance is required — Protocol MD is cash-pay and transparently priced, with no surprise fees. HSA and FSA debit cards are accepted at checkout, and every charge has an itemized receipt in your patient portal for reimbursement. Physician-prescribed medication is generally an eligible expense, but plans vary, so check with your plan administrator.
In depth
What the Research on Epithalon Shows So Far
The research on Epithalon is early. Most of it is in cells and animals, and much of it comes from one research group. No large human trial has tested it. Protocol MD sells Epithalon, so read this section knowing we have a reason to want you to buy it.
- Cell studies — A 2003 lab study in the Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, Khavinson, Bondarev and Butyugov, looked at Epithalon and telomerase in human cells grown in a dish. Cells in a dish do not tell you what happens in a person.
- Animal studies — A 2003 study in Biogerontology, Anisimov and colleagues, gave Epithalon to female mice and tracked them over their lives. Mouse results do not tell you what will happen in a person.
- What is not known — No large, controlled human trial has tested Epithalon. Its long-term safety in people has not been studied. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and Epithalon is not FDA-approved for any use.
So what can be said? Epithalon is a peptide with early lab and animal research and very little human data. That is why a US-licensed physician reviews every Protocol MD request for Epithalon, and why no outcome is promised. Start the online visit to see if a physician thinks it fits you.
