Pinealon vs Kisspeptin-10
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Pinealon
Pinealon is a short synthetic peptide developed from research on the pineal gland. It has shown neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties in animal studies.
Full details →Kisspeptin-10
Kisspeptin-10 is the active fragment of kisspeptin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in initiating puberty and regulating reproductive function. It acts upstream of GnRH in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

| Aspect | Pinealon | Kisspeptin-10 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Penetrates cell membranes and interacts with DNA to regulate gene expression related to neuronal survival and function. May support pineal gland function and melatonin production. | Binds to KISS1R receptors in the hypothalamus, stimulating GnRH neurons to release GnRH. This triggers the downstream cascade of LH, FSH, and sex hormone production. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. | Research protocols vary widely. Studies have used IV boluses of 1-10mcg/kg or subcutaneous administration. Clinical applications still being developed. |
| Administration | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. | IV or subcutaneous injection. Has very short half-life requiring frequent administration or continuous infusion for sustained effects. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. | Limited data. May cause flushing, increased heart rate, and changes in libido. Generally well-tolerated in studies. |
