  • Before writing this table, here's what it shows: the only two peptides with documented circadian-relevant mechanisms (Epitalon and DSIP) compared against commonly marketed alternatives that lack circadian specificity. The 'Professional Assessment' column makes the distinction clear. Cognitive enhancement and anxiolysis are not the same as circadian re-entrainment.
  • Epitalon
  • Epithalamus modulation, pineal melatonin regulation, telomerase activity
  • Direct. Acts on pineal gland to restore circadian melatonin rhythms
  • 10–100 mcg SC or intranasal, 5–10 day cycles
  • Only peptide with documented pineal-circadian interaction; strongest mechanistic rationale for jet lag
  • DSIP
  • Delta-wave sleep architecture enhancement, possible sleep homeostat modulation
  • Indirect. Improves SWS quality, which may support circadian adaptation
  • 1–5 mg SC or intranasal per dose
  • Enhances restorative sleep but doesn't directly shift circadian phase; complementary rather than primary
  • Semax
  • ACTH analog, nootropic, neuroprotective
  • None. Cognitive enhancer with no circadian or pineal activity
  • 300–600 mcg intranasal daily
  • Useful for managing cognitive fatigue symptoms but mechanistically irrelevant for circadian desynchronization
  • Selank
  • Tuftsin analog, anxiolytic, mood stabilizer
  • None. Reduces anxiety but doesn't interact with SCN or melatonin systems
  • 250–500 mcg intranasal daily
  • Addresses emotional symptoms of travel stress, not circadian misalignment; symptom management only
  • BPC-157
  • Gastric peptide derivative, tissue repair, systemic healing
  • None. Targets inflammation and gut health, not circadian biology
  • 250–500 mcg SC daily
  • Relevant for travel-related digestive upset and inflammation; zero circadian mechanism
