About Pinealon
Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg) is a synthetic short peptide from the Khavinson 'bioregulator' series, proposed to act on neural tissue with interest in neuroprotection. The tissue-specific bioregulator concept is a research hypothesis, not an established mechanism. Animal studies report effects on behavior and neurochemical markers in aged rats under stress (hypoxia/hypothermia), and it appears in small aging-biomarker studies in elderly subjects; there are no controlled clinical outcome trials, and the evidence comes largely from a single research group.
Key Benefits
- Affected behavior/neurochemistry in aged-rat stress models
