Vilon (Vilon (Lys-Glu Dipeptide Immune Bioregulator))
One of the simplest Khavinson peptide bioregulators, a Lys-Glu dipeptide associated with immune and thymic regulation. It is among the most studied short peptides in the Russian bioregulator literature for immune and anti-aging effects.
How it works
As a very short signal peptide (Lys-Glu), it is proposed to bind DNA and modulate gene expression in immune and other tissues, influencing chromatin activity, cytokine balance, and cellular aging markers.
Key facts
- Molecular weight: ~275 Da
- Half-life: Short (peptide)
- Bioavailability: Oral (encapsulated) or subcutaneous
- Storage: Room temperature (capsules) or refrigerate (injectable).
Dosing overview
- Typical dose: ~1-2 capsules/day or short injectable courses
- Frequency: Once daily
- Duration: 10-30 day courses
- Route: Oral capsule or subcutaneous
Protocol notes
- Taken as short repeatable courses (often 10-30 days), a few times per year.
- Oral encapsulated forms are taken once daily on an empty stomach.
- Often cycled with Epithalon in bioregulator longevity systems.
Reported benefits
- Immune regulation support
- Gene-expression modulation (proposed)
- Anti-aging tissue effects (proposed)

Possible side effects
- Limited Western clinical data
- Injection site reactions (injectable)
- Unknown long-term effects
Research
- Vilon gene-expression effects (2004): Reported to bind DNA and influence gene expression and immune markers in cell and animal studies.
