Pinealon/PE22-28/Selank Injection
A closer look at a three-peptide formulation.
This combination brings together peptides investigated in different experimental settings. The evidence for the combined injection needs its own evaluation.
Prescription required. Provider evaluation determines eligibility.
Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide. PE22-28 is a shortened spadin-related peptide, and Selank is a separate synthetic peptide.
Pinealon and PE22-28 have been studied in cell or animal models. Those studies do not establish a human benefit from the three-ingredient injection.
Ingredient identity, concentration and injection route must be confirmed. Do not use instructions written for any single ingredient.
Review should consider the reason for treatment, current medicines, neurologic or psychiatric history and evidence-based alternatives.
Three distinct compounds.
