Pinealon Dosing Calculator
Pinealon (EDR): Bioregulatory neuroprotective tripeptide.
Pre-filled with the most-reported community reconstitution protocol for Pinealon. See how 1 mL and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water change concentration and syringe-draw volume, then adjust the calculator below for your own vial.
Quick answer · Community-reported standard
A 5 mg vial of Pinealon reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 2.50 mg/mL. At that concentration, a 100 mcg dose of Pinealon equals 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.040 mL). Pinealon is typically administered once daily via subcutaneous.
Pinealon reconstitution: 1 mL vs 2 mL bac water
Bacteriostatic water volume is flexible. Less water means higher concentration and smaller injection volumes; more water means lower concentration and easier dose precision. Both options below are valid for a 5 mg vial.
| BAC water added | Concentration | Volume per 100 mcg dose | Draw on U-100 syringe (units) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 0.020 mL | 2 units |
| 2 mL | 2.50 mg/mL | 0.040 mL | 4 units |

Alternative Pinealon protocols
Beyond the default above, Pinealon is also reported in the following protocols. Use these as starting points and recalculate with the tool above.
Oral Capsule Protocol
Community- Dose
- 1-2 capsules (typically 10 mg each)
- Frequency
- 1-2 times daily with meals
- Duration
- 10-30 days, repeated every 4-6 months
- Route
- Oral
Most accessible format; taken with food, morning or early afternoon preferred for cognitive effects
Intranasal Spray Protocol
Community- Dose
- 2-4 mg
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 10-20 days
- Route
- Intranasal
Nasal spray for direct CNS delivery; considered by some users to be the most effective route for cognitive effects
Neuroprotection (preclinical reference dose from rat ischemia model)
Clinical- Dose
- 10 mcg/kg intraperitoneally (animal dose; human equivalent not established)
- Frequency
- Once daily
- Duration
- 5 days prior to insult (preventive regimen used in rat study)
Only single-dose level studied in vivo; no human dose-finding trials completed
Oral supplementation (from manufacturer guidelines, not clinically validated)
Clinical- Dose
- 200-500 mcg subcutaneously or 10-20 mg orally per capsule
- Frequency
- Once daily (SC) or as directed (oral), 5 days per week
- Duration
- 30 days per course, repeated every 4-6 months
Based on manufacturer recommendations; no controlled human trials support these doses
Pinealon reconstitution & storage
Not typically required for oral capsule form; if using lyophilized powder for subcutaneous injection, reconstitute with bacteriostatic water per standard peptide practice
Store lyophilized powder at -20C or below; reconstituted solution at 2-8C; no Pinealon-specific stability data available
Pinealon dosing FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 5 mg vial of Pinealon?
The community standard is 1 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Pinealon vial. That gives a concentration of 2.50 mg/mL, so a 100 mcg dose is 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 5.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 2 units. Less water = smaller injection volume but harder to measure precisely.
How many syringe units is a 100 mcg dose of Pinealon?
On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, a 100 mcg dose of Pinealon is 4 units when the 5 mg vial is reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water (2.50 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 2 units (5.00 mg/mL).
What is the standard Pinealon dose?
Community-reported protocols for Pinealon typically use 100 mcg–300 mcg once daily via Subcutaneous. 100 mcg is a common starting dose. Injection route used by those seeking more precise dosing; administered in the morning
How long does a vial of Pinealon last at 100 mcg once daily?
A 5 mg vial of Pinealon contains roughly 50 doses at 100 mcg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 50 days (about 7 weeks) of supply per vial. Reconstituted Pinealon should generally be used within 28 days when refrigerated.
Where do you inject Pinealon?
Pinealon is typically injected subcutaneous. Common sites reported in the literature and by users include: Abdomen, Outer thigh. Rotate sites with each injection to reduce localized irritation.
Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for Pinealon?
Bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) is strongly preferred for multi-dose vials like Pinealon because it inhibits microbial growth and lets a single vial be used over multiple weeks. Sterile water has no preservative and should generally be reserved for single-use preparations only.
