NA-Selank Amidate vs Pinealon
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
NA-Selank Amidate
NA-Selank Amidate (N-Acetyl Selank Amidate) is an enhanced version of Selank with improved stability and blood-brain barrier penetration. The modifications increase bioavailability and duration of cognitive and anxiolytic effects.
Full details →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.

| Aspect | NA-Selank Amidate | Pinealon |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Same core mechanism as Selank - modulates BDNF, serotonin, and norepinephrine systems. The N-acetyl group improves membrane permeability while the amidate modification increases enzymatic stability. | 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. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-400mcg 1-3 times daily. Lower doses needed compared to standard Selank due to enhanced bioavailability. | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. |
| Administration | Primarily intranasal administration. Can be used sublingually. More stable in solution than standard Selank. | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Possible mild fatigue or nasal irritation. Less frequent dosing needed than standard Selank. | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. |
