Overview
Cardiogen is a short synthetic peptide bioregulator associated with heart tissue in Khavinson's peptide research program. It is commonly cited in that literature for context on cardiac cell function and age-related changes in the heart. The evidence base is largely non-Western, limited, and not widely replicated, so it should be treated as preliminary.
How it’s thought to work
- Proposed to act as a tissue-specific bioregulator for cardiac cells.
- Reported to influence myocardial cell function in animal studies.
- Suggested to modulate expression of genes relevant to heart tissue.
- Described as supporting normal cardiac cell maintenance.
Researched uses
- Cardiac aging research
- Myocardial function studies
- Cardiovascular support in Russian reports
- General geroprotection research
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | ~2-5 mg per day |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Once daily over short courses in reported use |
| Route | Intramuscular injection (research) |
| Notes | Supplied as a lyophilized powder in original formulations. |
Reconstitution
Commonly a 5 mg vial; 5 mg in 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, so a 2 mg dose is about 16 units on a U-100 syringe.
Cardiogen dosage calculator
The calculator below is pre-filled with Cardiogen’s commonly cited vial size and dose. Adjust the vial amount, bacteriostatic water, or dose to match your own vial — it will show the exact insulin-syringe units to draw, the concentration, and how many doses the vial holds.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 2 doses of 2000 mcg. For each dose, draw 80 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.

Cautions
- Not FDA-approved; a research chemical outside its origin countries.
- Human evidence is limited and largely non-Western.
- Long-term safety is not established.
- Source purity and identity vary.
