How to reconstitute Pinealon 10 mg

In this example, 2 mL of bacteriostatic water in a 10 mg Pinealon vial gives 5.00 mg/mL. An example 100 mcg amount is then 2.0 units on a U-100 syringe.

This example lands on a syringe line. More water makes a weaker mix and a bigger draw. Less water makes a stronger mix and a smaller one. The amount of Pinealon stays the same. Use the diluent and volume specified for your product; the arithmetic alone does not choose them.

How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg Pinealon vial?

Straight arithmetic: concentration = 10 mg ÷ liquid volume, and 1 U-100 unit = 0.01 mL. The example column shows the math at 100 mcg; it is not a dose recommendation.

The table compares possible concentrations; it does not establish which diluent or volume suits your product. Follow its dispensing instructions.

“Hard to measure” means the example draw is below two U-100 units. “Won’t fit” means it exceeds this syringe’s capacity.

Each row is what that amount draws on a U-100 syringe. 2 mL makes 5.00 mg/mL, or 50 mcg a unit, and 100 mcg is 2 units. 3 mL makes 3.33 mg/mL, or 33.33 mcg a unit, and 100 mcg is 3 units. The barrel drawn here is filled to 2 units, the draw at 2 mL. The sum is 10 mg divided by the liquid volume. One U-100 unit is 0.01 mL.

What is Pinealon?

Pinealon is a peptide three amino acids long, from the St Petersburg institute that also produced Epitalon. Papers abbreviate it EDR.

How many units is a documented dose from this vial?

The table above uses one worked example. These are the published quantities, converted into marks on a U-100 barrel at each listed liquid volume for a 10 mg vial. Where a quantity was never studied by injection, the row says so.

100 mcg — studied in a trial

100 mcg twice a day for two weeks, swallowed. (railway locomotive crews; the endpoints were biological-age indicators and measures of adaptive capacity, and the abstract describes no control group).

Adv Gerontol 2012;25(1):57-62 — the only published source found that states a quantity of Pinealon given to people: one 100 microgram capsule twice a day for two weeks (PMID 22708445, in Russian) · retrieved 2026-08-13

A hundred doses in the vial, and the largest draw is three units

The cited capsule amount is a hundredth of the drug mass in this vial example. Converting it gives a hundred theoretical portions, with displayed draws of three units or fewer. Those small readings require careful attention to the actual equipment’s measurement limits.

Three units is at the edge of what a barrel can tell you

The larger listed volume gives the bigger draw and it is still only three units. A one-unit difference is a third of that draw. The spacing and width of printed lines depend on the syringe, so the illustration cannot establish how precisely a particular device measures it.

The two examples show how the reading changes with volume: the more dilute example increases it from two units to three. That arithmetic is not a direction to prepare or inject the capsule amount.

A hundred doses is a supply question with no answer

The example contains a hundred portions before handling losses. Two portions a day would be fifty days by division, but the cited study used capsules for two weeks, not repeated injections from a stored solution.

The count therefore does not establish a fifty-day injection course or a storage period. A portion count and a study duration answer different questions and must not be substituted for one another.

The published amount was swallowed, not injected

The quantity this table divides was given as a capsule, twice a day, in the one human study that printed a number. That study does not establish an injection dose or validate a preparation for use under the skin.

So this page computes what the arithmetic says and no more. It is the draw a hundred micrograms makes from this vial, not a recommendation that anyone draw it.

How do you mix it, step by step?

  1. Wipe both stoppers with an alcohol swab and let them dry.
  2. Check the product’s mixing instructions for the correct diluent and volume before drawing it up.
  3. Let the water run slowly down the inside wall of the Pinealon vial, rather than jetting it onto the powder.
  4. Follow the product’s instructions for mixing and checking the solution before use. Do not assume every powder uses the same method.
  5. Store it as the dispensing label directs. What happens after mixing differs by product — some labels direct against refrigerating the mixed solution at all.
