Livagen vs Testagen
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.
- Testagen is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the testes. It supports Leydig cell function, normalization of testosterone biosynthesis, and spermatogenic activity. Testagen is used in men's health protocols for age-related testosterone decline, male fertility support, and testicular anti-aging.

- 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
