IllumiNeuro is a cognitive enhancement peptide blend combining four nootropic peptides: PE-22-28 (neuritogenic), Pinealon (pineal bioregulator), NA-Semax Amidate (neuroprotective/cognitive), and NA-Selank Amidate (anxiolytic/cognitive). The standard formulation contains 48mg total (PE-22-28 10mg + Pinealon 10mg + NA-Semax 20mg + NA-Selank 8mg). This blend targets multiple neurological pathways for comprehensive cognitive support, though no clinical studies exist on this specific four-peptide combination.

Each peptide contributes distinct neurological mechanisms: PE-22-28 promotes neurite outgrowth and neural connectivity through sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulation; Pinealon is a bioregulator that supports pineal gland function and circadian regulation; NA-Semax Amidate provides BDNF upregulation and neuroprotection; NA-Selank Amidate offers anxiolytic effects through GABA modulation and immune-neuroendocrine regulation. Together, they theoretically address cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, mood support, and neural regeneration.

Molecular Data

Complex or non-standard sequence format

Research Indications

Combined BDNF support and neuritogenic effects may enhance memory formation and learning.

NA-Semax component supports sustained attention and mental clarity.

Multiple pathways protecting neural tissue from oxidative stress and damage.

NA-Selank provides anxiolytic effects through GABA modulation.

Immune-neuroendocrine support helps with stress resilience.

Combined effects on neurotransmitter systems may improve overall mood.

PE-22-28 promotes neural connectivity and neurite extension.

Pinealon supports healthy sleep-wake cycles and pineal function.

Dosing Protocols

Subcutaneous injection is the standard delivery method. Some users also administer intranasally for more direct CNS effects. Amidate forms (NA-Semax and NA-Selank) have enhanced stability and duration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's in IllumiNeuro and why is it a blend?

IllumiNeuro combines four neuroactive peptides: PE-22-28 (neurite growth), Pinealon (pineal/circadian support), NA-Semax (BDNF/neuroprotection), and NA-Selank (anxiety relief). The blend targets multiple cognitive pathways simultaneously for theoretically broader benefits than any single peptide.

Can I take IllumiNeuro separately or must I use the blend?

You can take individual components separately, but do NOT add extra NA-Semax or NA-Selank to the blend—they're already included. The standard 48mg vial contains all four at fixed ratios: PE-22-28 10mg, Pinealon 10mg, NA-Semax 20mg, NA-Selank 8mg.

Does IllumiNeuro work for anxiety specifically?

The NA-Selank component has documented anxiolytic effects via GABA modulation. However, no clinical studies exist on this four-peptide combination. Individual peptides show promise for anxiety in research, but human efficacy data is limited.

Should I inject IllumiNeuro in the morning or evening?

Morning dosing is preferred for cognitive benefits during the day. Pinealon's sleep-supporting properties might suggest evening, but most users report better focus and mental clarity when dosed in the morning on an empty stomach.
