EDR Peptide · Glu-Asp-Arg
A pineal gland peptide for neuroprotection and sleep optimization
Typical Dose
5–10 mg per day
Route
Subcutaneous
Frequency
Once daily, in the evening
Cycle
10 days, 2–3 times per year
Pinealon is a three-amino-acid peptide derived from the pineal gland — the same gland that produces melatonin and regulates your sleep cycle. It is studied primarily for protecting the brain from aging and oxidative damage, and for improving sleep quality. It is often paired with Epitalon as part of a longevity protocol focused on the pineal gland. While the research is still early, it is particularly interesting for people concerned about cognitive decline as they age.
Pinealon can cross the blood-brain barrier — the protective filter that keeps most substances out of the brain. Once inside, it interacts directly with the DNA in neurons, switching on genes that protect brain cells from damage and aging. It also supports the pineal gland's ability to produce melatonin, which is why evening dosing is recommended. Better melatonin production means better sleep, and better sleep is one of the most powerful things you can do for long-term brain health.
Typical Dose
5–10 mg per day
Dose Range
5–20 mg/day
Frequency
Once daily, in the evening
Route
Subcutaneous injection or intranasal
Cycle Length
10 days, 2–3 times per year
CLINICAL NOTES
Evening dosing is recommended due to its effects on sleep and melatonin. Often used in combination with Epitalon.
