Tripeptide-29
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.
Tripeptide-29 is a pro-collagen cosmetic peptide composed of proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine — the core repeating unit of collagen. Applied topically, it signals dermal fibroblasts that collagen degradation has occurred, triggering compensatory new collagen synthesis.
