Is Pineamin the same as epitalon?

No. Pineamin is a related pineal protein mix, not the synthetic tetrapeptide. This site's epitalon page cites a 55-person series where everyone got the treatment. A 100 mg course of Pineamin raised a melatonin breakdown product in night urine 1.9-fold above each person's own level before treatment. There was no comparison group. That study is tagged as being about another product. Epitalon is Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, with a molecular weight of 390.3 daltons, also spelled epithalon. The long death-rate studies on that page used Epithalamin, the cow pineal extract, not Pineamin and not the lab-made peptide sold today. Sitting on the same pineal shelf does not make them the same substance. Full record at /compounds/epitalon.
