Pancragen (Khavinson)

Khavinson bioregulator pentapeptidePancreatic tissue regulatorBeta-cell function modulator

Pancragen (Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp-Pro) is a Khavinson bioregulator pentapeptide targeting pancreatic tissue gene expression. It supports beta-cell function, insulin secretion pathways, and pancreatic tissue maintenance. Relevant for age-related pancreatic decline and metabolic health optimization.

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

Pancragen modulates gene expression in pancreatic beta-cells and exocrine cells, supporting insulin gene transcription, glucose-sensing pathways, and pancreatic tissue maintenance at the epigenetic level.

The honest take

Beta-cell preservation

Bioregulatory mechanism targeting pancreatic tissue gene expression. May support insulin secretion pathways.

05

Interactions & stacking

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

Keep separate

ALL (syringe)PIN ALONE.
GHK-CuCopper degrades bioregulators.
MetforminPancragen targets pancreatic function. Monitor blood glucose closely if on diabetes medications.
GLP-1 agonistsBoth affect pancreatic function. Monitor blood sugar.
06

Side effects & safety

Commonly reported

  • Very well tolerated

Less common & notes

  • Monitor blood glucose if on diabetes medications.
  • Excellent safety profile.
