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
