Pinealon vs Semax
Strength for strength, Pinealon costs less per mg at the two strengths both are offered in: at 5mg $0.524 per mg against $0.908 (PL5 in 50-box lots, XA5), at 10mg $0.405 per mg against $0.740 (PL10 in 50-box lots, XA10). By the single box, Semax is the only option, from $0.740 per mg at 10mg (XA10); every Pinealon line is special order. Pinealon is offered in 3 strengths (5mg to 20mg), Semax in 2 (5mg to 10mg); Semax has 1 on the shelf today, Pinealon none (special order, 50-box minimum). The least either takes: one box of XA5 at $45.40, three for a first order’s $100 minimum, against 50 boxes of PL5, $1,310.00 of goods.

What differs between Pinealon and Semax
Three residues against seven, and only the longer one has a residue to oxidise. Pinealon is a tripeptide, C15H26N6O8 at 418.4, with no sulfur anywhere in the formula and so nothing in it to oxidise. Semax is the ACTH 4-7 core carrying a Pro-Gly-Pro tail, C37H51N9O10S at 813.9, CAS 80714-61-0, and that single sulfur is its methionine, which can oxidise to the sulfoxide. Semax also carries a CAS number on its sheet and Pinealon does not; both are identified by mass, Pinealon against its calculated 418.4. Pinealon is offered in three strengths and Semax in two.

Which comes in more strengths, Pinealon or Semax?
Pinealon, with 3 against 2. Every strength is a separate line with its own code, price and stock state.
Are Pinealon and Semax made to the same specification?
Yes: both are supplied to purity not less than 98.0 percent by RP-HPLC and net content within 5 percent of label, and each certificate reports those with a measured mass, matched to the calculated figure on each sheet. The retest date is on the batch record. What differs is each molecule’s own chemistry, described on its compound page.
