How it works
Retinalamin is a highly purified, clinical-grade polypeptide extract derived from the retina tissues of cattle or pigs. It is an approved prescription pharmaceutical in Russia used primarily in ophthalmology.
Retinalamin works by restoring impaired cellular metabolism in the retina. It stimulates photoreceptor division, improves the function of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), reduces vascular permeability, and prevents the death (apoptosis) of retinal cells during ischemic or degenerative states. It is heavily utilized for treating diabetic retinopathy, central retinal vein occlusion, and primary open-angle glaucoma.

The Khavinson school
Retinalamin is filed here as pharmaceutical extract (cytamin-era), targeting the retina. Khavinson's St. Petersburg group moved from organ extracts (Cytamins) to capsule complexes (Cytomaxes) to synthetic short peptides (Cytogens); most of the evidence comes from that one group, with little independent Western replication.

History of this molecule
This is the eye extract that actually has a hospital technique (parabulbar) in its home market. That does not make gray-market powder safe to put next to a globe. We document the triad so AMD shoppers do not buy Visoluten thinking it is Retinalamin.
Caveats
Do not self-inject near the eye. Not FDA.

|---|---|---|---|
| Clinical Protocol | 5 mg | Daily IM or Parabulbar injection for 10 days | Usually administered by an ophthalmologist (parabulbar = injected into the tissue adjacent to the eyeball). |
Administration
Retinalamin: Parabulbar / IM extract vs Not Visoluten / not Pinalex
- The eye extract that actually has a hospital technique in its home market.
- Triad stays honest: Retinalamin (extract) / Visoluten (Cytomax) / Normoftal (cytogen).
- Food does not apply.
- DIY parabulbar is how globes get hurt. No.
- Not anti-VEGF, not AREDS2, not FDA.
- Do not run a 5 mg BAC abdomen chart as if this were BPC.
- Visoluten exists for oral ocular Cytomax shoppers.
- Stops AMD shoppers from buying Visoluten thinking it is Retinalamin.
- Not a sublingual tablet. Nobody manufactures this SKU that way.
- Pinalex is not a loophole to “oral Retinalamin.”
- Degenerative retina disease still belongs to an ophthalmologist.
- Not an eye drop.

Safety & Considerations
Registered pharmaceutical in Russia. Clinical supervision required. Parabulbar injection must be performed by a specialist.
Regulatory & Legal Status
Not currently on the WADA 2026 Prohibited List. Policies may change - verify before competition.

Limits of current evidence
- Parabulbar administration is clinic territory.
- This site will not treat macular degeneration from this page.
Verdict
Retinalamin is an injectable retinal extract used in Russian ophthalmology practice. Not Visoluten capsules, not Normoftal, not Pinalex. Not a US AMD drug.
Interactions & Contraindications
Parabulbar injection requires trained ophthalmologist. No reported drug interactions with standard optic medications.
Synergies & Common Stacks
Parabulbar extract plus oral eye cytogen. Russian clinic pairing, not a macular-degeneration protocol on this site.
Retinalamin + Normoftal target different aspects of ocular tissue health.

Retinalamin isn't sold under that name at Vita-Stream. Closest match: Visoluten (A-11), the natural retina Cytomax (not the same compound).
