05Administration Protocol

Parameter

Chonluten

Matrixyl

1. Preparation

Typically supplied as capsules or sublingual tablets. No reconstitution required. Store in cool, dry place away from light.

Wash face with gentle cleanser. Pat dry.

2. Oral route

Swallow capsule with water, 20–30 minutes before meals or as directed. Traditional Khavinson protocol emphasizes empty stomach for absorption.

Apply 2–3 drops to fingertips. Massage gently into target areas (face, neck, décolletage). Allow 1–2 minutes for absorption.

3. Sublingual route

Place tablet under tongue, allow dissolution for 1–2 minutes. Avoid swallowing immediately. Claimed to bypass first-pass metabolism.

Twice daily — morning and evening. Apply before heavier creams or sunscreen.

4. Timing

Morning dose preferred; may split into twice-daily if higher dose used. Consistency emphasized in bioregulator protocols.

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Stable in formulation for 12–24 months.

5. Cycle protocol

10–30 day cycles common in Russian tradition. Rest period of 1–3 months between cycles often recommended, though no published evidence for this approach.

Matrixyl

+ GHK-Cu

Multi-pathway

View GHK-Cu →

Matrixyl (Pal-KTTKS) stimulates fibroblast collagen synthesis via pro-collagen I mimicry, while GHK-Cu acts as a copper-binding tripeptide that enhances ECM remodeling through metalloproteinase modulation and wound healing pathways. Combined, they address collagen synthesis (Matrixyl) and matrix remodeling/repair (GHK-Cu) through distinct mechanisms, producing complementary effects on dermal architecture.

Matrixyl: 0.5–5% topical serum · AM/PM
GHK-Cu: 1–2% topical serum · same application
Frequency: Twice daily
Primary benefit: Enhanced collagen synthesis + ECM remodeling, improved skin density and elasticity
