What is pinealon?

Pinealon is a synthetic three-amino-acid peptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) from the same Russian research group as Epitalon. It is not approved as a drug in the US, and human evidence is very limited.

Also known as: EDR peptide, Glu-Asp-Arg.

Common vial sizes

Powder vials are usually labeled 10 mg or 20 mg.

Water and syringe-unit charts by vial size: 10 mg · 20 mg

Worked reconstitution example

Here is the math for a 10 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, drawing 1 mg with a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units).

  1. Concentration. 10 mg ÷ 2 mL = 5 mg/mL
  2. Volume to draw. 1 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.2 mL
  3. Syringe units. 0.2 mL × 100 = 20 units
The amount here is an example to show the math, not a recommendation. How much to take is a decision for you and your prescriber.

Same amount, different water volumes

Adding more water doesn't change how much pinealon is in the vial. It only spreads it over more liquid, so each draw is bigger and easier to read.

For any other vial size or amount, the free peptide reconstitution calculator works backwards from the amount you want and suggests a water volume that lands on a clean syringe mark.

What is known in people?

Most work on pinealon is in cells and rats, where it lowered markers of oxidative stress. The only human study we found was a small report in a Russian journal on 32 adults aged 41 to 83.

How to track pinealon in Dose Track

  1. Add pinealon as a custom compound. It is not in the built-in list, but a custom compound gets the same vial, units and reminder tools, and it sits next to everything else you take.
  2. Save your vial: enter the vial size and how much water you added. From then on every amount you log shows as syringe units, and the reconstitution planner suggests a water volume that lands on a clean mark.
  3. Log each shot. The app subtracts it from the vial, shows what is left, and warns you before you run out.
  4. Set reminders on your own schedule, whether that is daily, weekly or every few days.
  5. Your log stays on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg pinealon vial?+
There is no single right amount. More water makes each draw bigger and easier to measure; less water makes it smaller. For example, 2 mL in a 10 mg vial gives 5 mg/mL, so 1 mg is 0.2 mL, or 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. That amount is only an example for the math, not a recommendation. The free Dose Track reconstitution calculator works it out for any vial and amount.
How many units is 1 mg of pinealon?+
It depends on the concentration in your vial. At 5 mg/mL (10 mg mixed with 2 mL), 1 mg is 0.2 mL, which is 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, where 1 mL is 100 units. Divide the amount by the concentration to get mL, then multiply by 100.
What is the half-life of pinealon?+
We could not find a published human half-life for this compound. Figures quoted online usually come from animal or cell studies, so we do not list one here.
Can I track pinealon in Dose Track?+
Yes, as a custom compound. Pinealon is not in the built-in list, but you can add it yourself. You can then log each shot next to your other compounds, save your vial and how much water you added so every amount shows in syringe units, see how much is left in the vial, and get reminders. Your log stays on your phone.
