How does pinealon work?
Pinealon is a lab-made peptide of three amino acids, Glu-Asp-Arg, from the Khavinson 'bioregulator' school. This site's profile suggests it turns genes up or down in nerve cells and protects them from damage by harmful oxygen molecules and low oxygen. It is listed as leaving the body quickly (a short half-life). Its molecular weight is 418.4 daltons. The one study in people on that page is a 32-patient Russian study of Pinealon and Vesugen that looked at markers of biological age. No outside group has repeated it. Markers are not a health outcome, and 32 people is a thin base. It is not FDA approved. In cells in a lab, Glu-Asp-Arg cut down harmful oxygen molecules and cell death in nerve cells. In rats, it improved thinking in the young of mothers with high homocysteine (an amino acid linked to brain harm). Those findings do not transfer into a counted human brain-protection mechanism. This FAQ does not invent a human mechanism. Full record at /compounds/pinealon.
