Epithalon Price: $25.00 Buys 9.64 mg, Not 10 mg

Summary: Epithalon has one cash price and no second number behind it, so the only arithmetic worth arguing about is which mass you divide by, and the certificate says the vial holds slightly less than its label.

The epithalon price at Ascension Peptides is $50.00 for a 10 mg vial at list, reduced from $69.99, or $25.00 with the code PEPTIDEDECK entered at checkout. Against the printed label that is $2.50 per milligram. Against the mass the testing laboratory actually weighed, it is $2.59.

Here is the offer this page does the arithmetic on, with the batch it ships against.

Both of those per-milligram figures are on this page deliberately. The flattering one is the one every seller quotes, and the honest one comes from a document the seller published itself.

What the epithalon price is attached to

Epithalon is not a GLP-1. It is not an incretin, it has nothing to do with appetite or gastric emptying, and it does not belong in a weight-loss conversation at all. Readers reach this page from the incretin side of this site because epithalon turns up in the same longevity threads, not because the two categories overlap pharmacologically.

What it actually is: a synthetic tetrapeptide, four amino acids in the order Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, usually abbreviated AEDG. Its formula is C14H22N4O9, molecular weight 390.35, catalogued as PubChem CID 219042 ^[1], with CAS number 307297-39-8 printed on the batch certificate ^[2]. Four residues makes it one of the smallest peptides sold in this market. It was developed in Russia by Vladimir Khavinson's group as a synthetic stand-in for a pineal gland extract called epithalamin. The FDA and PubChem both spell it Epitalon. The buying market spells it Epithalon. Same molecule, two transliterations of the same Russian name, and you will need both spellings to search properly.

The marketing around it is built on telomere and telomerase claims. Report that accurately and it comes out like this: a body of work, much of it Russian-language and much of it from one research group, reports effects on telomere length, and more recent laboratory work in human cell lines reports the same direction of effect in a dish. None of that is a human lifespan result, and nobody should read it as one. There is no FDA approval for epithalon for any indication, anywhere in the West.

That matters to a price page because it removes every reference point. Set it against the drugs this site normally covers, where our explainer on what retatrutide is can point at a phase 2 trial with participant numbers, endpoints and a journal citation. Epithalon has no equivalent, and its price is set the way a research chemical's price is set, not the way a medicine's is.

The epithalon price today, per vial and per milligram

One product, one size, so the whole price list fits in a table.

Two separate mechanisms are sitting in that table and they are easy to blur into one. The quantity tier applies automatically to the list price according to how many vials are in the cart: 3% at three, 5% at five, 10% at ten. Nothing is typed to trigger it. PEPTIDEDECK is a code you enter at checkout and it takes half off. We publish no combined figure for a multi-vial cart because whether those two mechanisms interact is not documented anywhere we can verify, and an invented total would be worse than an empty cell.

Notice what the tiers are and are not. The deepest one, 10% off at ten vials, lands at $45.00 a vial, which is $4.50 per milligram. The code alone gets you to $2.50. Tiers are a route to a better total on a large order, never a route to a better per-milligram figure, and anyone reaching for the ten-vial tier as a value play has the arithmetic backwards.

Free shipping starts at $250. A single discounted vial at $25.00 is $225.00 short of it. Five vials at the tiered list price come to $237.50 and still miss. Ten at $450.00 is the first cart on list pricing that clears the threshold comfortably.

The second answer, and where it comes from

Here is where a second number appears, and it is the reason this page exists in the shape it does.

Ascension publishes one certificate for epithalon: batch 15-05260628, run by Kovera Labs and certified on 23 May 2026 under report number KVR-2026-A36FF4. It reports a net content of 9.64 mg in a vial labelled 10 mg, against a stated specification of 10 mg plus or minus 10 percent ^[2]. That result is inside the tolerance. It is also under the label.

Nine cents a milligram is not a scandal and this page is not going to pretend it is. What it is worth noticing is the direction. A vendor whose certificate reports a fill weight slightly against its own interest is publishing a measurement rather than a marketing figure, and that is a useful thing to learn about a document before you rely on anything else in it.

The contrast on the same catalogue makes the point. Our Selank price page works through a lot that assayed 12.29 mg against a 10 mg label, which moved the per-milligram figure the other way and made the vendor look generous. Our Semax price page covers a batch at 11.23 mg. Two rounded up, one rounded down, all three published. Fill weight is a batch property and not a product property, so treat the 9.64 mg as a fact about that lot rather than a promise about the next one, and use the label figure when you compare one vendor against another, because the label is the only number every seller states.

What the $25.00 does buy on this batch

Testing, and this batch carries more of it than most research peptide lots do. On report KVR-2026-A36FF4: purity 99.312% against a greater-than-98% specification, by reversed-phase HPLC on a C18 column with diode array detection at 214 nm. Identity confirmed by LC-MS. An endotoxin safety screen against an acceptance limit of 0.5 EU/mL, result PASS. A microbial sterility screen returning no growth. Heavy metals screened, with arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury all returned negative ^[2].

Two honest caveats, because a price page that only reports the good news is a sales page.

First, the endotoxin line is a pass or fail screen. It does not print a measured value, and it does not name a compendial method. A fuller endotoxin result of the kind that appears on some of this vendor's other June 2026 certificates is a kinetic chromogenic LAL assay run to USP Chapter 85 with a number attached, such as under 0.20 EU/mL against the same 0.5 EU/mL limit. PASS is a real result and better than silence. A number to USP Chapter 85 is more.

Second, there is only one certificate for this compound. Selank and Semax each have two on the same storefront, one thin and one full, which lets you see how testing scope changed across the catalogue. Epithalon has a single document, so there is no second data point and no way to tell whether the next lot will be tested the same way.

There is no second price behind this one

No insurer prices epithalon. There is no approved product for any indication, so there is no claim, no formulary tier, no copay and no appeal. The compounding route is closed too, and by a specific mechanism worth stating precisely: epitalon was nominated for the 503A bulks list, was placed in category 2 under the FDA's interim policies while the agency evaluated it, and the nomination was then withdrawn by the nominator. As of the agency's 14 May 2026 update it appears in none of Categories 1, 2 or 3 ^[4]. It sits on the separate list of substances nominated but withdrawn ^[3]. A pharmacy with no listed bulk substance has nothing lawful to compound from, so there is nothing for a pharmacist to price and nothing to bill.

Readers who have worked through our guide to what GLP-1 medications cost will see how strange that is. Every figure on this page is a cash price quoted once, with no negotiated number sitting behind it, which is simpler and considerably less reassuring.

Common questions about the epithalon price

How much does epithalon cost?

At the supplier linked on this page, $50.00 for a 10 mg vial at list, reduced from $69.99, or $25.00 with the code PEPTIDEDECK. That is $2.50 per milligram against the label. The card carries the date the prices were last checked, and a storefront can change them without notice.

Why does the page give two different epithalon cost per vial figures per milligram?

Because the certificate for batch 15-05260628 reports a net content of 9.64 mg in a vial labelled 10 mg. Divide $25.00 by the label and you get $2.50. Divide it by the measured mass and you get $2.59. The second figure describes that batch and is not a prediction about the vial you receive.

Is 9.64 mg in a 10 mg vial a problem?

It is inside the stated specification of 10 mg plus or minus 10 percent, so it is a compliant fill rather than a shortfall. The more interesting thing is that the number was published at all, since it costs the seller nine cents a milligram in the comparison and it appears on the certificate anyway.

Do the quantity tiers beat the code?

No. The deepest tier is 10% off list at ten vials, which is $45.00 each or $4.50 per milligram, while the code halves the price and gets you to $2.50. They are separate mechanisms, one automatic and one typed, and we make no claim that they combine. Build the cart, apply the code, and read the checkout total.

Will insurance or an HSA cover any of the epithalon price?

No. There is no approved epithalon product to reimburse and no compounded preparation to bill for, because the bulk substance nomination was withdrawn. Research material is sold for laboratory use rather than human use, which puts it outside medical expense categories entirely.

Does a low epitalon price mean poor material?

Price tells you very little in a market with no reference price, no insurer negotiating and no approved competitor. What separates one vial from another is the certificate: batch-matched to the lot you were sent, purity against a stated specification, identity by mass spectrometry, and endotoxin and sterility results for anything intended to be injected.

The short version

The epithalon price is $50.00 at list, $25.00 with PEPTIDEDECK, and $2.50 per milligram against the printed label. Net content on batch 15-05260628 was 9.64 mg, which puts the real figure for that lot at $2.59. Quantity tiers move the list column by 3% to 10% on a mechanism the code is not documented to stack with, and none of them approaches what the code alone does per milligram. Behind all of it there is no insurer, no copay and no compounding route, because the nomination that might have opened one was withdrawn and epitalon now sits on no category list at all. What $25.00 buys is one vial and one certificate that reports purity, identity, an endotoxin screen, a sterility screen and heavy metals, plus a fill weight the seller had no commercial reason to publish. What it does not buy is human safety data, which the FDA says nobody has.
