In Plain English
A brain-protective tripeptide from the pineal gland that may preserve memory and slow age-related cognitive decline. Works at the gene level to reduce oxidative damage in neurons and appears to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Overview
Pinealon (EDR, Glu-Asp-Arg) is a synthetic tripeptide developed in Russia from research into pineal gland extracts. It is designed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and exert neuroprotective effects. Research focuses on cognitive preservation, memory enhancement, and potential reversal of age-related neurological decline. Often grouped with Epithalon as a "gerontoprotective" peptide.
Common Formats
- Injectable (subcutaneous)
- Nasal spray
Storage Notes
