## Overview

Cerluten is a natural peptide complex extracted from cerebral-cortex and neuronal tissue (peptide complex A-1), part of the Russian Cytomax / Revilab bioregulator line. It is the extract-based neuronal counterpart to the synthetic tripeptide Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg), marketed within the Khavinson tradition for central-nervous-system and cognitive support.

Cerluten is the brain-directed natural bioregulator of the Cytomax / Revilab line, extracted from neuronal tissue. It pairs with Pinealon, the synthetic Glu-Asp-Arg tripeptide already catalogued: Cerluten is the natural neuronal extract, Pinealon the defined synthetic short peptide modeled on the same tissue.

As a tissue extract it is a standardized polypeptide fraction with no single molecular formula or sequence. Its neurological claims come from the same concentrated research tradition as the rest of the series, with limited independent replication, and it is not FDA-approved.

## Mechanism

Proposed tissue-selective (bioregulator) modulation of neuronal gene expression, in the same lineage as the synthetic brain peptide Pinealon.

## Research areas

Studied in: Cognition, Neuroprotection, Peptide bioregulators.

## Key research

- Neuronal bioregulator — a natural brain peptide extract (complex A-1), the extract counterpart to synthetic Pinealon.
- CNS / cognition focus — marketed for neuronal recovery and cognitive support within Khavinson protocols.
- A tissue extract — a polypeptide fraction with no single formula or sequence.
- Evidence quality — concentrated in one research tradition; preliminary. Not FDA-approved.

## Storage, handling & synthesis

**Synthesis.** Cerluten is a natural brain / neuronal peptide extract (complex A-1), a fractionated polypeptide preparation rather than a synthesized peptide. As with the other Cytomax extracts, consistency and characterization of the fraction are the quality challenge.

## FAQs

### What is Cerluten?

Cerluten is a natural brain / CNS peptide complex (Cytomax A-1), marketed for neuronal and cognitive support — the extract-based counterpart to the synthetic peptide Pinealon.

### How does it relate to Pinealon?

Cerluten is the natural neuronal extract; Pinealon is the defined synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) modeled on the same tissue.

### Does it have a molecular formula?

No — it is a tissue extract (a polypeptide fraction), so it has no single sequence or molecular formula.

### Is Cerluten approved?

No — it is a research compound / supplement, not FDA-approved. This page is a research and educational reference.
