Overview
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide (lysine-glutamic acid) developed as part of Vladimir Khavinson's work on short peptide bioregulators. It is commonly cited in that literature for context on immune regulation and geroprotection. The evidence base is almost entirely non-Western, older, and based on animal and small human studies; independent replication is limited, so claims should be read cautiously.
How it’s thought to work
- Proposed to act as a peptide bioregulator influencing gene expression.
- Reported effects on T-cell and immune function in Russian studies.
- Suggested to interact with DNA and modulate cell activity.
- Described as geroprotective, though mechanisms are not firmly established.
Researched uses
- Immune modulation in Russian research
- Age-related decline studies in animals
- General geroprotection research
- Adjunct investigation in inflammatory conditions
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | ~5-10 mg per day |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Once daily over short courses in reported use |
| Route | Intramuscular injection (research) |
| Notes | Supplied as a lyophilized powder in the original formulations. |
Reconstitution
Commonly a 10 mg vial; 10 mg in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL, so a 5 mg dose is about 20 units on a U-100 syringe.
Vilon dosage calculator
The calculator below is pre-filled with Vilon’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 10 mg vial. That gives you about 2 doses of 5000 mcg. For each dose, draw 100 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 varies.
