Fiber becomes extra important too
Second, not only environmental factors such as 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and rotenone but also familial genes such as SNCA (PARK1), Parkin (PARK2) and DJ-1 (PARK7) lead to PD pathogenesis partially by inducing overwhelming ROS production 6,7,8
Immune effects are restorative, not overstimulating: It rebalances T-cell ratios, upregulates IL-2 in aged tissues, and improves neuroimmune integration, suggesting a targeted recalibration of immune tone rather than indiscriminate boosting. It restores circadian and hormonal rhythms: By stimulating melatonin synthesis, protecting pineal structure, and re-entraining clock genes, Epitalon may counter the widespread circadian drift of aging, with implications far beyond sleep, touching immunity, metabolism, and neuroprotection
