What is pinealon?

Pinealon explained in plain English: what it is, what the research shows, side effects, legal status and dosage. There is no validated human dose, and this page doesn't invent one. Also called Glu-Asp-Arg, EDR peptide.

Pinealon is not approved for human use by the FDA or any other regulator. This page is educational; talk with a qualified healthcare professional before using any substance.

What is pinealon?

Pinealon is a lab-made peptide of just three amino acids: glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine (EDR). It comes from Vladimir Khavinson’s Russian research on “peptide bioregulators”.

It is sold online as a capsule or powder for memory, sleep and brain health.

What does pinealon do?

In cell and animal studies, pinealon protected brain cells against low oxygen and oxidative stress. Its developers propose that very short peptides like it enter cells and influence which genes are switched on.

That proposed mechanism hasn’t been confirmed by independent research.

What does the research on pinealon show?

The research is mostly in cells and animals, from a small number of Russian groups. There are no rigorous, independent human trials showing it improves memory, sleep or brain health.

See peptide bioregulators for the wider family, and epitalon, its best-known relative.

Pinealon side effects and risks

Its side effects in people are unknown. Products sold online aren’t checked for purity, strength or identity.

Pinealon is not approved for human use by the FDA or any other major regulator.

Pinealon dosage

Pinealon has no approved dose and no rigorous human trials, so there is no validated human dose.

There is no approved or validated human dose. This site does not repeat doses from forums, sellers or animal studies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pinealon and epitalon?

Both are short Russian bioregulator peptides. Pinealon (three amino acids) is studied for brain cells; epitalon (four) is studied for telomeres and aging.

Has pinealon been tested in people?

Only in small Russian studies that haven't been repeated by independent groups. There are no rigorous trials.

Is pinealon legal?

It is not approved for human use by the FDA or any other major regulator.
