Pinealon
Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg)
A tripeptide derived from the pineal gland, developed by the same Russian research group as Epithalon. Shows neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties.
Mechanism of Action
Pinealon penetrates cell nuclei and modulates gene expression related to neuronal survival and function. It reduces oxidative stress in brain tissue, supports melatonin regulation, and exhibits neuroprotective effects in models of ischemia.
Health Claims & Evidence
Neuroprotective effects in brain tissue
Improves sleep quality via pineal modulation
Cognitive enhancement and memory support
Short-Term Effects
Improved sleep quality, mild cognitive enhancement.
Long-Term Effects
Potential neuroprotection and cognitive preservation with repeated courses.
Side Effects
Extremely well-tolerated in Russian studies.
Contraindications
Limited data outside Russian research.
