U.S. regulatory status
None has U.S. regulatory status.
What it is
Di- and tripeptides said to bind DNA and regulate genes in their “tissue of origin”: cartilage (Cartalax), brain (Pinealon), prostate (Prostamax), blood vessels (Vesugen) and thymus (Thymogen).
How it is thought to work
The proposed mechanism is direct gene regulation in a specific organ. Western pharmacology has not verified this.
Animations simplify biology for teaching. They are not a claim that this peptide works this way in people.
What the research shows
Decades of Russian publication with very limited independent Western replication.
Safety and considerations
Unknown.
Our position
We list them as one entry on purpose. Listing them separately would make the field look five times deeper than it is.
