Cognitive explainer
Pinealon, explained for researchers
Synthetic tripeptide Glu-Asp-Arg from the Khavinson group's short-peptide research.

What has actually been studied?
Proposed to act on gene expression in neurons; the evidence is limited and mostly from one research group. Purgo sells it only in two spray blends.
How is Pinealon thought to work?
Evidence level: Limited: hypothesis and model data from one group. All mechanism maps

Where do US labs buy Pinealon?
What should the certificate show?
- Match the CAS number on the certificate to 175175-23-2.
- A 3-residue peptide should show a mass-spec identity near 418.40 g/mol; HPLC purity alone doesn't confirm identity.
