Numeric assessment unreviewed
A historical numeric score is recorded but has not passed a current, compound-specific assessment review. No numeric score is displayed.
This is a limitation of the numeric assessment, not a measured absence of benefit. It does not re-review the separately recorded catalogue classification or establish efficacy or safety.
Mechanism of Action
Endoluten is a cytamin-class supplement containing peptide complexes derived from pineal gland tissue.
Cytamin Classification
Cytamins are oral supplements in the Russian bioregulator framework:
- Tissue-derived peptide mixtures
- Multiple peptide fractions of varying size
- Marketed as dietary supplements
- Not defined single compounds
Proposed Mechanisms
- Pineal Support - Claimed to support pineal gland function
- Melatonin Regulation - Proposed effects on melatonin synthesis
- Circadian Rhythm - Marketed for sleep and circadian support
Important Limitations
- NOT a defined peptide - contains complex mixture
- Oral peptide bioavailability is generally very low
- No Western clinical validation
- No randomized controlled trials
- Not a substitute for melatonin supplementation
- Not approved by any Western regulatory agency
Epithalon
CompatibleBoth target pineal function - Epithalon is synthetic AEDG tetrapeptide, Endoluten is tissue-derived cytamin. Different administration routes and compositions.
Pinealon
CompatibleBoth target brain/pineal - Pinealon is synthetic tripeptide, Endoluten is tissue-derived complex.

Humanin
HN · HN peptide
A 24-amino acid mitochondria-derived peptide (MDP) discovered in 2001 that shows cytoprotective effects in cell and animal studies. Human studies mostly measure endogenous humanin levels; associations with aging or disease do not show that administered humanin is beneficial or safe. HNG and colivelin are modified analogues, not interchangeable names for native humanin.
