Gonadorelin
Summary
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide (Lys-Glu) derived from the thymus gland extract Thymalin. The shortest immune-regulatory peptide known, Vilon modulates T-cell and NK-cell function, extends lifespan in animal models, and shows epigenetic anti-aging activity. It is one of the Khavinson peptide bioregulators.
Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.
Half-Life
Very short as a free dipeptide; effects mediated via gene regulation
~2–4 minutes (extremely short); pulsatile dosing required to avoid desensitization
Admin Route
SubQ, Oral
SubQ, Intranasal
Research
Typical Dose
1–2 mg SC daily or 5–10 mg oral daily
100 mcg
Frequency
Once daily
Twice daily (every 12 hours)
Key Benefits
