Testagen vs Ovagen
Side-by-side comparison of key properties, dosing, and research.
- Summary
- 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.
- 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.

- Key Benefits
- Supports endogenous testosterone synthesis via Leydig cell normalization
- Promotes spermatogenesis and sperm quality
- Anti-aging effects on testicular tissue
- May attenuate age-related testosterone decline
- Mechanistically distinct from TRT — does not suppress HPG axis
- Useful adjunct to Gonadorelin and Kisspeptin-10 in male hormonal protocols
- Supports male fertility without exogenous hormone replacement
- 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
