Summary
Cardiogen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson. It is a tissue-specific bioregulator for the heart and myocardium, designed to normalize cardiomyocyte function and support cardiac tissue regeneration. Research has demonstrated cardioprotective effects, improved cardiac rhythm, and benefits in recovery from ischemic injury.
Vesilute is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the retina and visual system. It supports retinal cell function, promotes normalization of photoreceptor protein synthesis, and is studied for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal aging, and vision preservation in the elderly.
