    Pinealon

    Description

    A short peptide bioregulator that supports pineal gland function and melatonin production. Part of the Khavinson peptide family.

    Dose:2 mg
    Frequency:30 days in a row, 2-3x per year
    Administration Method: SQ, Oral
    CategoryNootropic
    Half-LifeVery short (minutes); typical of Khavinson short peptides.

    Overview

    Pinealon is a pineal-derived peptide bioregulator with high water solubility and selective uptake by the pineal gland. Studies suggest neuroprotective effects through ROS inhibition and circadian-rhythm restoration.

    Mechanism of Action

    Pinealon is a tripeptide that demonstrates selective uptake by pineal-gland tissue. Research suggests it restores pineal function and melatonin production, supports circadian entrainment, inhibits reactive oxygen species (ROS) buildup, blocks ERK 1/2 activation, and improves neuronal membrane stability and survival. It has shown protective effects against prenatal hyperhomocysteinemia in rat offspring.
