Pinealon

Also known as: EDR tripeptide, Brain bioregulator

Pinealon is a Khavinson bioregulator for the brain and nervous system. It consists of three amino acids (Glu-Asp-Arg) and supports cognitive function and neuroprotection.

Beginner Basics

Plain-English guide to Pinealon

What it does

Pinealon is a short chain of three building blocks that researchers study for supporting brain health and memory. It's commonly used to help protect nerve cells and may support learning and mental clarity.

Typical dose

Researchers typically use 10 mg per day, injected under the skin or taken by mouth, for 10-20 days per month.

When to inject

Inject or take in the morning. Follow a cycle of 10-20 days on, then 10+ days off to let your body rest.

Storage

Keep the powder in the refrigerator before mixing. Once mixed with water, store in the refrigerator and use within a few days.

First-timer tip

Start with the lower end of the cycle (10 days on) to see how your body responds before committing to longer cycles.

Supports brain health
May reduce cognitive decline
Regulates circadian rhythm
Anti-aging for the brain

Side Effects

Injection site reactions
UncommonMild

Minor redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site may occur. Rotate injection sites to minimize this risk. Reactions typically resolve within 24 hours.

Sleep disturbance (initial)
UncommonMild

Some users report vivid dreams or mild insomnia during the first few days of use, likely due to enhanced melatonin signaling. This typically resolves as the body adapts. Consider injecting in the morning rather than evening.

Headache
RareMild

Occasional mild headache has been reported in early treatment phases. Ensure adequate hydration and consider timing of injection relative to meals.

Dizziness or lightheadedness
RareMild

Rare reports of transient dizziness. Sit or lie down for a few minutes after injection if this occurs. Discontinue and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.

Allergic reaction
RareSerious

Although rare, allergic reactions (rash, urticaria, difficulty breathing, angioedema) are possible with any peptide. Seek immediate medical attention if signs of anaphylaxis occur. Discontinue use and do not re-administer.

Reconstitution Guide

Do not use saline or bacteriostatic saline, use only bacteriostatic water for reconstitution

Do not shake the vial vigorously; gentle swirling prevents peptide degradation

Discard immediately if the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles

Use within 30 days of reconstitution when stored at 2-8°C

Do not freeze the reconstituted solution; freezing may denature the peptide

Molecular and Pharmacological Data

SequenceMembers only

Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) is a Khavinson bioregulator tripeptide that supports pineal gland function and neuroprotection through regulation of melatonin synthesis and circadian rhythm stabilization. It is believed to enhance cognitive function, improve sleep quality, and provide antioxidant protection to the central nervous system by modulating neuroendocrine signaling and reducing oxidative stress in brain tissue.
