01Mechanism of Action

Parameter
Crystagen
DSIP
Primary target
B-lymphocytes in splenic tissueСhervyakova 2014
Multiple — modulates HPA axis + thalamic delta-wave generation (proposed)Schneider 1986
Pathway
B-cell activation → Immune modulation during agingСhervyakova 2014
Reduced cortisol/ACTH + enhanced delta-wave EEG activity → improved sleep onset + depthSchneider 1986
Downstream effect
B-cell activation via apoptosis reduction; no observed increase in splenic cell renewalСhervyakova 2014
Faster sleep onset, increased delta sleep, reduced stress response, possible anxiolytic effectSchneider 1986
Feedback intact?
Unknown — bioregulator mechanism not fully characterized
Origin
Synthetic Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide — Khavinson bioregulator series
Endogenous peptide first isolated from rabbit blood during delta sleep; synthesised exogenouslySchneider 1986

05Administration Protocol

Parameter
Crystagen
DSIP
1. Route
Subcutaneous injection — presumed from bioregulator class convention. Specific anatomical sites not standardized.
Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water to vial.
2. Reconstitution
Protocol not standardized. If lyophilized, sterile water or bacteriostatic saline typical for peptide bioregulators.
SQ — abdomen. Rotate sites.
3. Timing
Not specified. Bioregulator protocols vary — some practitioners advocate evening dosing, others morning.
30–60 min pre-sleep.
4. Storage
Lyophilized: room temperature, light-protected. Reconstituted: refrigerate, use within days to weeks depending on preservative.
Lyophilised: room temp. Reconstituted: refrigerate ≤30 days.
5. Needle
29–31G insulin syringe.

06Stack Synergy

Crystagen
+ Vilon
Multi-pathway
View Vilon

Vilon (Lys-Glu) activates T-helper cells via apoptosis reduction, while Crystagen activates B-cells. Dual T/B immune modulation in aging models may provide complementary thymic-immune support within the Khavinson bioregulator framework. Both target splenic immune aging through distinct lymphocyte subsets.
