Livagen vs Mazdutide
Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.
- Summary
- Livagen is a dipeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the liver and thymus. It supports hepatocyte function, promotes liver cell regeneration, and modulates immune function via thymic activity. Research suggests benefits in chronic liver disease, hepatic aging, and immune restoration following liver damage.
- Mazdutide is a once-weekly GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist developed by Innovent Biologics and Eli Lilly. Phase 2 trials in Chinese populations demonstrated up to 11.3% body weight reduction at 6 mg over 24 weeks. It also improves liver fat, glycemic control, and lipid profiles. Phase 3 trials are ongoing primarily in China.

- Key Benefits
- Supports hepatocyte regeneration and liver tissue repair
- Normalizes liver cell protein synthesis
- Immune modulation via thymic activity
- Potential benefits in chronic hepatitis and liver aging
- Anti-aging effects on hepatic tissue
- May support liver recovery after toxic insult or alcohol damage
- Complementary to NAD+ and glutathione in liver health protocols
- Up to 11.3% body weight reduction at 24 weeks (Phase 2, 6 mg dose)
- Significant reduction in liver fat content (NAFLD/MASH potential)
- Improves HbA1c and fasting glucose in type 2 diabetes
- Favorable lipid profile changes (reduced triglycerides)
- Once-weekly subcutaneous dosing
- Potential for superior weight loss vs GLP-1 monotherapy
