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

Research
Typical Dose
5–10 mg (oral) or 50–100 mcg (SC)
100 mcg
Frequency
Once daily for 10 days
Twice daily (every 12 hours)
