- Pinealon
- Pinealocyte transcription modulation
- Upregulates AANAT and HIOMT enzyme expression
- 10–20mg/day × 10 days
- Subcutaneous injection (85–90%)
- Directly targets melatonin synthesis machinery. Gold standard for endogenous restoration
- Epithalon
- Telomerase activation, pineal decalcification
- Indirect via pineal gland rejuvenation
- 5–10mg/day × 10–20 days
- Subcutaneous injection (80–85%)
- Broader anti-aging effects; melatonin improvement secondary to pineal restoration
- Exogenous Melatonin
- MT1/MT2 receptor agonism
- Supplies hormone directly, bypasses synthesis
- 0.3–10mg nightly
- Oral (15–30%) or sublingual (40–50%)
- Immediate effect but suppresses endogenous production with chronic use
- 5-HTP
- Serotonin precursor
- Increases substrate availability for melatonin conversion
- 50–200mg daily
- Oral (70%)
- Limited effect on AANAT activity. Addresses substrate but not rate-limiting enzyme
- Thymalin
- Thymus peptide, immune modulation
- None. No direct pineal or melatonin pathway
- 10mg × 10 days
- Subcutaneous injection (85%)
- Immune-focused bioregulator; no documented melatonin synthesis effect
- Semax
- BDNF upregulation, neuroprotection
- None. Cognitive peptide without pineal activity
- 300–600mcg/day
- Intranasal (60%) or subcutaneous (80%)
- Neuroplasticity and focus support; unrelated to circadian or melatonin regulation
- Pinealon's specificity for pineal gland cells and melatonin synthesis enzymes makes it the optimal peptide for individuals whose primary goal is circadian restoration and endogenous melatonin support. Epithalon provides broader anti-aging benefits that include pineal rejuvenation as one component. Appropriate for individuals seeking systemic telomerase activation alongside sleep improvements. Exogenous melatonin remains the fastest-acting intervention for acute circadian phase shifts but carries long-term suppression risk with nightly use beyond 30 days.
