Pinealon UK — EDR Tripeptide Research Guide
Also known as EDR tripeptide
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide with the sequence Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR), developed within the same Russian peptide bioregulator programme that produced Epithalon.
It is one of the shortest peptides in commercial research supply, and this guide covers what that means practically as well as what the research actually reports.
For in vitro research use only — not for human or animal consumption. Not a licensed medicine in the UK. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
What is Pinealon?
Three amino acids — glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine. Peptides this short are cheap to synthesise, very stable, and small enough that the research hypothesis around them concerns direct interaction with DNA and gene expression rather than receptor binding.
Research context and honest limits
The published work concerns neuronal survival under hypoxic and oxidative stress in cell and animal models, alongside general bioregulator theory papers from the same research group.
As with Epithalon, the evidence sits largely with one research lineage and has not been independently replicated at scale. No human outcome claim is supported.
Pinealon vs Epithalon vs Semax
Epithalon (AEDG) is the pineal bioregulator studied around telomerase; Pinealon (EDR) is positioned as the brain-tissue bioregulator in the same framework.
Semax is from a different programme entirely — an ACTH(4-10) analogue with a much larger nootropic dataset. If the interest is cognition research specifically, Semax has the deeper literature.

How does Pinealon differ from Epithalon?
Both come from the same Russian bioregulator programme. Epithalon is the four-residue AEDG pineal peptide studied around telomerase activity; Pinealon is the three-residue EDR peptide positioned as the brain-tissue bioregulator and studied around neuronal survival under stress.
Is Pinealon legal in the UK?
Pinealon is legal to buy and possess in the UK for laboratory research purposes. It is not a licensed medicine in the UK, is not prescribed by the NHS, and is supplied strictly for in vitro research use only — not for human or animal consumption.
How is Pinealon reconstituted?
Pinealon is supplied lyophilised. Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently — never shake, as agitation can damage the peptide chain. Once dissolved, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days. Use our free peptide calculator for exact volumes rather than following generic charts.
Do you supply a Certificate of Analysis for Pinealon?
Yes. Every batch is independently HPLC and mass-spec tested and the batch number on the vial matches a published Certificate of Analysis, so purity can be verified before use.
How fast is UK delivery?
Stock is held in the UK. Orders placed before 2pm Monday–Friday are dispatched the same working day by Royal Mail Tracked 24 with photo confirmation, in discreet plain packaging with no product names on the outside.
