Gonadorelin
Summary
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation, designed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and exert neuroprotective, neurogenic, and anti-aging effects by regulating pineal gland and brain cell function.
Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
Half-Life
Short (peptides rapidly degraded), but epigenetic/gene regulatory effects persist
~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
Admin Route
SubQ, Oral, Intranasal
