Pinealon vs Thymulin
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 →Thymulin
Thymulin (Facteur Thymique Sérique) is a zinc-dependent nonapeptide hormone produced by thymic epithelial cells. It plays important roles in T-cell differentiation and immune system maturation.

| Aspect | Pinealon | Thymulin |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Requires zinc for biological activity. Promotes T-cell differentiation, modulates cytokine production, and influences neuroendocrine function. Levels decline significantly with age. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. | Research protocols vary. Often studied alongside zinc supplementation. Typical research doses in the microgram range. |
| Administration | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. | Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in research settings. Requires adequate zinc status for activity. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. | Limited data on exogenous administration. Theoretical effects on immune function require monitoring. |
