Summary
Bronchogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator designed for the bronchi and lungs, promoting normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function. Research suggests benefits for respiratory health, protection against pulmonary aging, and support for bronchopulmonary conditions.
PEG-MGF (Pegylated Mechano Growth Factor) is a modified form of MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) where polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains have been attached to extend its half-life from minutes to days. Native MGF is released locally in muscle in response to mechanical stress and quickly degrades. PEGylation allows systemic administration with sustained circulation, enabling whole-body muscle repair and anabolic signaling rather than the purely local effect of native MGF.
Half-Life
Short (minutes to hours); bioregulator effects are gene-mediated and longer lasting
~3 days (due to PEGylation)

Key Benefits
  • Tissue-specific support for bronchial and lung health
  • Promotes normalization of bronchial epithelial cell function
  • Potential benefits in chronic bronchitis and COPD support
  • Anti-aging effects on pulmonary tissue
  • May reduce frequency of respiratory infections
  • Supports lung function preservation with aging
  • Compatible with other Khavinson bioregulator peptides
  • Extended half-life (~3 days) vs native MGF (minutes)
  • Systemic muscle satellite cell activation via subcutaneous injection
  • Promotes muscle fiber repair and hypertrophy throughout the body
  • Enhanced recovery from intense training or muscle injury
  • Synergistic with IGF-1 LR3 and growth hormone peptides
  • Useful in sarcopenia, post-injury recovery, and athletic performance
  • Single injection provides multi-day anabolic signaling
Side Effects
  • Generally well tolerated in research studies
  • Mild local reactions at injection site (if injected)
  • No significant systemic side effects reported at standard doses
  • Water retention and localized swelling
  • Potential hypoglycemia at high doses
  • Theoretical cancer growth risk (growth factor)
  • Injection site reactions
