Chonluten vs Pal-AHK
Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.
- Summary
- Chonluten is a tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific to the bronchi and lungs. While related to Bronchogen (a tetrapeptide), Chonluten is a shorter tripeptide sequence. It supports bronchial mucosal cell function, promotes respiratory epithelial regeneration, and is used in protocols for COPD, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary anti-aging.
- Pal-AHK is the palmitoylated form of the AHK-Cu copper tripeptide, created by attaching a palmitic acid chain to enhance skin penetration and lipid bilayer affinity. The palmitoyl modification significantly improves dermal bioavailability compared to unmodified AHK, making it particularly effective in anti-aging and hair growth formulations.
- Half-Life
- Short (minutes for the peptide); sustained gene-regulatory effects
- Extended (lipid depot effect in stratum corneum)
- Admin Route
- SubQ, Oral
