Anti-Aging & Longevity
Bronchogen
Summary
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that declines dramatically with age. It is critical for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. IV and subcutaneous NAD+ supplementation is used in anti-aging protocols and addiction recovery programs.
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.
Half-Life
Varies by route; IV provides direct cellular delivery
Short (minutes to hours); bioregulator effects are gene-mediated and longer lasting
Admin Route
IV, SubQ, Oral

Key Benefits
  • Restored cellular energy production (ATP)
  • Sirtuin activation for longevity and metabolic regulation
  • Enhanced DNA repair capacity
  • Improved mitochondrial function and biogenesis
  • Cognitive clarity and mental energy
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Addiction withdrawal support (opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines)
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Enhanced athletic endurance
  • 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
Side Effects
  • Flushing and warmth during IV infusion
  • Nausea during rapid IV administration
  • Chest tightness (from rapid infusion — slow the rate)
  • Injection site irritation (subcutaneous)
  • +1 more
  • Generally well tolerated in research studies
  • Mild local reactions at injection site (if injected)
  • No significant systemic side effects reported at standard doses
