Step 1 of 4
This vial holds 10,000 mcg in total.
U-100 insulin syringe · 1 mL · lines every 2 units · 1 unit = 0.01 mL
3.0 units on a U-100 insulin syringe · 1 mL · lines every 2 units, which is 0.03 milliliters. The nearest syringe line is 4 units.

Pinealon is a peptide three amino acids long, from the St Petersburg institute that also produced Epitalon. Papers abbreviate it EDR. It is sold for memory, focus and mental sharpness in later life, as capsules or as powder for injection.
The memory claim rests on one sentence in one review. Following its three references leads to another review, a study in old rats, and a patent. People have taken it and the results were published, almost all in Russian. Two of those studies gave it alongside a second peptide, so neither separates the two. The one study that measured chemistry found two effects pointing the wrong way.
Each row starts with the same 10 mg vial and changes only the amount of water. More water makes the mixture less concentrated, so the same dose uses more syringe units.
| Water added | Concentration | Per U-100 unit | Draw for 100 mcg | Nearest syringe line |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 50.0 mcg | 2.0 u · 0.020 mL | exactly 2 u |
| 3 mL | 3.33 mg/mL | 33.3 mcg | 3.0 u · 0.030 mL | 4 u · 33.3% off |
The vial, water and dose shown here are the calculator’s starting example for Pinealon. Replace them with your own values. Every result in the table is calculated from those inputs.
The one quantity ever published for a person is a tiny fraction of what this vial holds, so the powder divides into around a hundred draws. Every one of them reads near the bottom of a U-100 barrel, where a printed line is about as wide as the error it hides.
The more dilute of the two listed volumes gives the larger draw, which is the direction you want on a quantity this small. It still lands only a single unit higher.
That is the whole of what the mixing choice can do here. Neither volume turns this into an amount a person can measure confidently by eye.
At the published amount, one vial covers a very long stretch of twice-daily use. No cited source says how long the mixed vial keeps.
The missing figure matters more the more doses there are. At two draws it is an inconvenience; at a hundred it is the number that decides whether the vial is a supply or a waste.
The supply estimate assumes one draw each week unless a published schedule says otherwise. The only published human use of this peptide was twice daily.
It was also swallowed rather than injected, so the rhythm and the route both come from a study that has nothing to say about a syringe.
One sentence carries this peptide’s whole reputation. It sits in the abstract of the only open review written about it in English, and it says the compound improves memory in older patients. That sentence has three references under it, and this page is what happens when you open all three.
The first reference is itself a review. Its own abstract describes it as comparing two groups of neuroprotective peptides. That is a summary, not the study of patients it is being cited for.
None of that means nobody has been given it. Railway crews took capsules twice a day for two weeks, and the paper says exactly how much was in each one. That is the figure this tool opens on.
The human study used a capsule. A swallowed amount cannot be converted into an injected amount, and no published source has tested this peptide under the skin.
The published amount is a hundredth of what the single published vial holds. Divide the powder by it and the vial holds around two years of twice-daily use.
Mix 10 mg into 3 mL and one U-100 unit carries 33.3 mcg. The table shows how much peptide is in each numbered syringe line. These are conversion examples, not suggested doses.
| U-100 line | Volume | Mass (mcg) | Mass (mg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 u | 0.10 mL | 333 mcg | 0.333 mg |
| 20 u | 0.20 mL | 667 mcg | 0.667 mg |
| 30 u | 0.30 mL | 1,000 mcg | 1 mg |
| 40 u | 0.40 mL | 1,333 mcg | 1.333 mg |
| 50 u | 0.50 mL | 1,667 mcg | 1.667 mg |
| 60 u | 0.60 mL | 2,000 mcg | 2 mg |
| 70 u | 0.70 mL | 2,333 mcg | 2.333 mg |
| 80 u | 0.80 mL | 2,667 mcg | 2.667 mg |
| 90 u | 0.90 mL | 3,000 mcg | 3 mg |
| 100 u | 1.00 mL | 3,333 mcg | 3.333 mg |
