IllumiNeuro Protocol
Four-Peptide Cognitive Enhancement Blend
IllumiNeuro is a cognitive enhancement peptide blend combining four nootropic peptides: PE-22-28 (neuritogenic), Pinealon (pineal bioregulator), NA-Semax Amidate (neuroprotective/cognitive), and NA-Selank Amidate (anxiolytic/cognitive). The standard formulation contains 48mg total (PE-22-28 10mg + Pinealon 10mg + NA-Semax 20mg + NA-Selank 8mg). This blend targets multiple neurological pathways for comprehensive cognitive support, though no clinical studies exist on this specific four-peptide combination.
Overview
IllumiNeuro is a cognitive enhancement peptide blend combining four nootropic peptides: PE-22-28 (neuritogenic), Pinealon (pineal bioregulator), NA-Semax Amidate (neuroprotective/cognitive), and NA-Selank Amidate (anxiolytic/cognitive). The standard formulation contains 48mg total (PE-22-28 10mg + Pinealon 10mg + NA-Semax 20mg + NA-Selank 8mg). This blend targets multiple neurological pathways for comprehensive cognitive support, though no clinical studies exist on this specific four-peptide combination.
Each peptide contributes distinct neurological mechanisms: PE-22-28 promotes neurite outgrowth and neural connectivity through sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulation; Pinealon is a bioregulator that supports pineal gland function and circadian regulation; NA-Semax Amidate provides BDNF upregulation and neuroprotection; NA-Selank Amidate offers anxiolytic effects through GABA modulation and immune-neuroendocrine regulation. Together, they theoretically address cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, mood support, and neural regeneration.
Research indications
What the compound has been studied for, grouped by body system. Effect size is the reported magnitude where it was measured — not a recommendation.
Combined BDNF support and neuritogenic effects may enhance memory formation and learning.
NA-Semax component supports sustained attention and mental clarity.
Multiple pathways protecting neural tissue from oxidative stress and damage.
NA-Selank provides anxiolytic effects through GABA modulation.
Immune-neuroendocrine support helps with stress resilience.
Combined effects on neurotransmitter systems may improve overall mood.
PE-22-28 promotes neural connectivity and neurite extension.
Pinealon supports healthy sleep-wake cycles and pineal function.
A large effect in a weak study and a small effect in a strong one are different things. Effect size is never evidence of use in people.

Interactions
Already contains NA-Semax - do not add more to avoid overdosing.
Already contains NA-Selank - do not add more.
Already contains Pinealon.
Complementary pineal/longevity support; different mechanisms.
Both highly neuroactive; use caution combining multiple cognitive enhancers.
Different targets; BPC-157 may complement with healing/gut-brain effects.
The blend has stimulatory cognitive effects; monitor if combining with other stimulants.

FAQ
What's in IllumiNeuro and why is it a blend?
IllumiNeuro combines four neuroactive peptides: PE-22-28 (neurite growth), Pinealon (pineal/circadian support), NA-Semax (BDNF/neuroprotection), and NA-Selank (anxiety relief). The blend targets multiple cognitive pathways simultaneously for theoretically broader benefits than any single peptide.
Can I take IllumiNeuro separately or must I use the blend?
You can take individual components separately, but do NOT add extra NA-Semax or NA-Selank to the blend—they're already included. The standard 48mg vial contains all four at fixed ratios: PE-22-28 10mg, Pinealon 10mg, NA-Semax 20mg, NA-Selank 8mg.
Does IllumiNeuro work for anxiety specifically?
The NA-Selank component has documented anxiolytic effects via GABA modulation. However, no clinical studies exist on this four-peptide combination. Individual peptides show promise for anxiety in research, but human efficacy data is limited.
Should I inject IllumiNeuro in the morning or evening?
Morning dosing is preferred for cognitive benefits during the day. Pinealon's sleep-supporting properties might suggest evening, but most users report better focus and mental clarity when dosed in the morning on an empty stomach.
