Cardiogen
Cardiogen (Khavinson)
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.
Starting dose. 100 mcg — Daily
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.
What to expect
Days 1-10: Gene expression changes initiated.
Weeks 2-8: Cardiac gene programs established.
Months: Sustained cardiac tissue support.
Evidence
Claims we could not support
No abstract we checked supports these for this molecule at this route. That is not the same as saying they are false — it marks where the evidence is missing.
Dose/route: 100 mcg SubQ daily for a 10-20 day course. No checked abstract administered page-defined Cardiogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg) subcutaneously at this dose and course length.
Mechanism: cardiomyocyte penetration and direct DNA-mediated regulation of cardiac genes. Exact-name results involved rat tissue explants, prostate fibroblasts, or a rat sarcoma model; none stated the page’s sequence-specific cardiomyocyte/DNA mechanism.
Primary safety concern / excellent tolerability at the displayed regimen. No checked human SubQ safety abstract for the page-defined molecule and regimen was found.
The honest take
Cardiac tissue support
Russian clinical data supports improved cardiac markers in elderly. Bioregulatory mechanism targets cardiac-specific gene expression.
Interactions & stacking
Two different questions: what is documented about running these together, and what is documented about drawing them into the same syringe. A good pharmacological partner can still have to be pinned separately.
Documented together
Keep separate
Check any specific pair in the Stack & Interaction Checker, which answers both questions separately. Absence of a documented conflict is not evidence of safety.
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.
Pharmacokinetics
SubQ
Weeks to months (cardiac gene expression changes persist long after peptide clearance)
Rapid enzymatic degradation (peptidases); renal excretion of amino acid components
Storage. Standard BAC water 2-8C. 21-28 days.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved. Research peptide. Used in Russian clinical practice.

Calculate, log & track
Open Cardiogen straight into OnePin with your vial and dose pre-filled, then let it handle the syringe math and remind you before the vial runs out.
