Citronellol, Hydroxycitronellal, Limonene, Linalool: These are fragrance components that can also occur naturally in essential oils
Results are not permanent and usually last 36 months, and require maintenance sessions to prevent the skin from returning to its original shade
glutathione works gradually, and daily intake over several weeks is usually needed before visible results appear
Treatment begins with a 2.5 mg weekly starting dose, then increases by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks until reaching the effective maintenance level between 5-15 mg weekly

Ongoing low-dose maintenance (experimental) Continuous dosing approach: Dose: 1-2mg daily OR 3-5mg 2-3x weekly Duration: Ongoing (not cycled) Goal: Maintain constant telomerase activation Status: Experimental, not from research protocols Rationale: Telomerase needs continuous activation to maintain telomere length Cyclic dosing may allow regression between cycles Low-dose continuous might provide stable benefits Similar to maintenance protocols for other peptides Continuous dosing options: Advantages of continuous: No "off" periods where benefits regress Potentially stronger cumulative anti-aging More like natural physiologic regulation Easier to stack with other peptides Disadvantages: Much higher annual cost ($1,800-3,600 vs $300-600) No long-term safety data Uncertain if better than cyclic approach Storage challenges (more reconstitution) Deviates from proven protocols Current recommendation: Stick with proven 10-day cycles for most users Consider continuous only if cyclic approach inadequate Start with standard protocol first Assess your individual response Consult with peptide-knowledgeable physician Use our peptide cycle planning guide to design your Epithalon protocol
