Pinealon vs Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6
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 →Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6
A powerful tri-blend combining Sermorelin (a GHRH analog) with two growth hormone releasing peptides. This combination produces significantly greater GH release than any single peptide, with studies showing up to 54-fold increases in pulsatile GH secretion.

| Aspect | Pinealon | Sermorelin & GHRP-2 & GHRP-6 |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary via GHRH receptors, while GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 act as ghrelin mimetics on different receptor subtypes. The combination creates synergistic GH release through multiple complementary pathways. GHRP-6 also strongly stimulates appetite. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. | Typical protocols: Sermorelin 100-300mcg, GHRP-2 100-300mcg, GHRP-6 100-300mcg. Often administered 2-3 times daily, 30 minutes before meals or at bedtime. |
| Administration | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. | Subcutaneous injection. Best administered fasted or before sleep to maximize natural GH cycle. The three peptides can be mixed together or administered separately. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. | Increased hunger (especially from GHRP-6), water retention, facial flushing, nausea, tingling, potential increases in cortisol and prolactin levels. |
