Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) is a synthetic tripeptide based on bioregulators of the pineal gland. The pineal gland synthesises melatonin and peptides regulating circadian rhythms, seasonal adaptation, and neuroendocrine function. Pinealon is neuroprotective, improves cognitive function, and supports retinal cell viability in preclinical studies.
Overview
Reconstitution Table (1 mL mL BAC water u2192 10 mg)
| Dose | Draw (U-100) | Frequency |
| 5 mg | 5 Units | Once daily |
| 10 mg | 10 Units | Once daily |
Reconstitute 10 mg with 1 mL saline u2192 10 mg/mL. Administer IM or SC, preferably in the evening. Best run in 10-day cycles as per Khavinson protocols.
Pinealon is part of Khavinson's peptide bioregulator class. Research use only outside Russia.
