Pinealon

Pineal-derived peptide bioregulator with cognitive and neuroprotective positioning.

Available in Russia and some international suppliers Peptide bioregulators Nootropics & cognitive

Reviewed 2026-09-12
Full name
Pineal-gland peptide bioregulator (distinct short peptide, not to be confused with epithalon)
Also known as
pineal peptide
Regulatory status
Available in Russia and some international peptide suppliers

Origin

A peptide bioregulator from pineal-gland-tissue isolation work by Khavinson's group, positioned for cognitive and CNS support. A distinct product from Epitalon/epithalon, though closely related in research tradition and often confused with it in marketing.

Mechanism

Proposed to act as a tissue-specific bioregulator supporting pineal and CNS cell function, with claimed effects on neuronal signaling molecule expression and antioxidant activity in brain tissue.

Research summary

Evidence

Evidence is limited to small Khavinson-group studies, largely unreplicated in Western literature. Human data are essentially anecdotal reports of improved sleep and mood in older adults. Overall evidence quality is very low.

Evidence tier: Available in Russia and some international suppliers — see the methodology note for how this is assessed.

Reported benefits

  • sleep quality support
  • circadian rhythm support (theoretical)
  • cognitive support claims
  • antioxidant effects (theoretical)

Dosing protocols reported in the literature & community

These are protocols reported by compounding pharmacies, published trials, or self-experimentation communities — not a prescription. Start low, especially for anything new.

Reported dosing protocols
RouteReported protocol
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, or oral capsuleReported Russian protocols: 10 mg IM daily for 10 days, or oral capsule courses; poorly standardized.

Side effects

  • insufficient human data; animal studies show good tolerability

Safety notes

Safety: Extremely limited safety data. No formal toxicology or long-term human studies published.
Community & reddit notes (anecdotal — not clinical evidence)

Appears in Western longevity and biohacker circles, sometimes marketed under names overlapping with Epitalon, which causes confusion between the two. Claims often exceed evidence.

Mixing compatibility

Pulled from a community-charted mixing-compatibility reference (anecdotal, clinic-use, and community-reported signals) — not a safety guarantee. Verify independently before combining anything.
