Pinealon

Same research group, different peptide. Epithalon (four amino acids) is aimed at aging and the pineal gland; Pinealon (three) is pitched more at brain function. Both have thin, mostly in-house evidence.

Khavinson-style protocols use brief courses of 10–20 days a few times a year rather than continuous use. That pattern comes from tradition, not head-to-head trials.

Oral Khavinson peptide capsules exist, and the developers claim short peptides survive digestion. That is not well proven; the vial is meant for injection.

It depends on the mix. At a common mix of 10 mg of Pinealon in 5 mL of water (2 mg/mL), 200 mcg is 10 units (0.1 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. The formula is dose in mg ÷ concentration in mg/mL × 100. Change the vial size or water in the calculator and the units update. This is math, not a dose recommendation.

Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) — allows multiple draws from one vial. A common mix is 10 mg + 5 mL, which gives 2 mg/mL. Less water makes a stronger mix and fewer units per dose; more water makes a weaker mix and more units. Pick the amount that lands your dose on an easy-to-read line.

Refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Never freeze after mixing. Keep upright, capped, and out of light. Plan on about 30 days once it is mixed, and discard it sooner if it turns cloudy or has particles. The calculator shows how long a vial lasts at your dose and flags a vial that outlasts its shelf life.
