Testagen
Testagen (Khavinson)
Testagen (Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a Khavinson bioregulator tetrapeptide targeting testicular tissue gene expression. It supports Leydig cell function, Sertoli cell maintenance, and testicular hormone production pathways. Complementary to HCG (direct LH receptor stimulation) for comprehensive testicular support during TRT.
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
Testagen modulates gene expression in testicular tissue (Leydig cells, Sertoli cells), supporting steroidogenic enzyme expression, LH receptor sensitivity, and spermatogenic support pathways at the gene level.
What to expect
Days 1-10: Gene changes initiated.
Weeks 2-8: Testicular gene programs established.
Months: Sustained testicular 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.
Exact-molecule abstract evidence. ESearch was run and 2 source-candidate PMIDs were EFetch-checked; no usable exact-molecule abstract sentence was found.
Dose/route: 100 mcg daily; SubQ injection; 8-16 week course. No selected live abstract sentence verified this complete regimen.
Mechanism as written in source JSON. No selected live abstract sentence verified the complete mechanism at the card formulation/route and relevant population/model.
Primary safety claim as written in source JSON. No selected live abstract sentence verified the complete safety claim for this exact formulation and route.
The honest take
Testicular rejuvenation
Bioregulatory gene expression modulation targeting testicular tissue. Complementary to direct hormonal stimulation (HCG).
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
Less common & notes
- Monitor testosterone and estradiol if on TRT.
- Excellent safety profile.
Pharmacokinetics
SubQ
Weeks to months (epigenetic gene expression changes persist beyond dosing course)
Enzymatic degradation (aminopeptidases)
Storage. Standard BAC water 2-8C. 21-28 days.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved. Research peptide.
Put it to work
Calculate, log & track
Open Testagen 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.
