Cardiogen (Khavinson)

Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptideCardiac tissue regulatorGene expression modulator

Cardiogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg) is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide targeting cardiac tissue gene expression. It supports cardiomyocyte function, cardiac extracellular matrix maintenance, and cardiovascular protective pathways. Developed for age-related cardiac decline and cardiac tissue support.

Quick Start
Route
SubQ injection
Start low
5 mg daily
Frequency
Daily for 10-20 day course
Timing
No fasting required

SubQ injection, any time of day. 10-20 day courses, 2-3 cycles per year with 4-6 months between courses (Khavinson protocol). Pin alone or with other bioregulators only.

Start here. Every protocol below is ordered lowest-first. Begin at the smallest effective dose, hold about a week to assess tolerance, and step up only if needed.

How it works

Cardiogen penetrates cardiomyocytes and interacts with DNA to modulate expression of genes involved in cardiac contractility, extracellular matrix maintenance, antioxidant defense, and cellular stress resistance in heart tissue. Works through epigenetic mechanisms at very low concentrations.

The honest take

Cardiac tissue support

Russian clinical data supports improved cardiac markers in elderly. Bioregulatory mechanism targets cardiac-specific gene expression.

05

Interactions & stacking

What's safe to combine, and what belongs in a separate pin.

Safe & synergistic

SS-31Cardiogen targets cardiac gene expression, SS-31 targets cardiac mitochondria. Complementary cardiac support. Pin separately.
VesiluteCardiogen cardiac + Vesilute vascular. Complementary cardiovascular support. Run in sequence.

Keep separate

ALL (syringe)PIN ALONE. Khavinson bioregulator.
GHK-CuCopper degrades bioregulator peptides.
06

Side effects & safety

Commonly reported

  • Very well tolerated
  • Mild injection site irritation

Less common & notes

  • Monitor cardiovascular parameters if on cardiac medications.
  • Excellent safety profile.
