Ovagen vs Follistatin 344

Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.

Anti-Aging & Longevity
Ovagen
Anabolic & IGF
Follistatin 344
Summary
Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, primarily targeting liver tissue. It supports hepatocyte function, liver cell regeneration, and protection against hepatic aging and disease. Ovagen is used in protocols for chronic liver disease, hepatoprotection, and metabolic liver conditions including fatty liver disease.
Follistatin 344 is a recombinant form of the endogenous follistatin protein. It inhibits myostatin and activin — the primary negative regulators of muscle growth — potentially removing the genetic ceiling on muscle development. It is one of the most theoretically powerful anabolic compounds but is experimental with limited human data.

Key Benefits
  • Hepatoprotective effects against toxic, viral, and metabolic liver damage
  • Promotes hepatocyte regeneration and liver tissue repair
  • May reduce liver fibrosis progression
  • Supports liver metabolic function and detoxification capacity
  • Anti-aging effects on hepatic tissue
  • Useful in NAFLD/MASH supportive protocols
  • Compatible with NAD+, glutathione, and BPC-157 in liver health stacks
  • Inhibits myostatin — removes muscle growth ceiling
  • Significant increases in muscle mass and strength
  • Reduces fat mass
  • Promotes bone density
  • May stimulate hair follicle cycling
  • Anti-fibrotic effects in muscle tissue
  • Synergistic with IGF-1 and other anabolic peptides
Side Effects
  • Generally well tolerated
  • Mild injection site reactions
  • No clinically significant hepatotoxicity reported
  • Muscle soreness (from rapid hypertrophy)
  • Potential reproductive effects (activin inhibition)
  • Unknown long-term safety profile
  • Possible esophageal effects at high doses (animal data)
