Telomerase
An enzyme that extends telomeres—target of longevity peptide marketing.
What is Telomerase?
An enzyme that extends telomeres—target of longevity peptide marketing. Epithalon is marketed around telomerase activation; human anti-aging proof is not established.
Where you will see Telomerase
Longevity and mitochondrial peptide talk is mostly preclinical or early human research. These are not standard cosmetic INCI ingredients and should not be confused with skin-care peptides on a Sephora shelf.
Common questions
What does Telomerase mean?

How is Telomerase different from other peptides?
“Peptide” is a broad category. Sequence, chain length, and chemical modifications determine what a molecule does—compare specific INCI names or drug names rather than the umbrella word.
