01Mechanism of Action
Parameter
Liraglutide
Ovagen
Primary target
GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R)SAXENDA (liraglutide) injectio 2014
Ovarian tissue chromatin complexes
Pathway
GLP-1R agonism → ↑glucose-dependent insulin, ↓glucagon, ↓gastric emptying, ↓appetiteSAXENDA (liraglutide) injectio 2014Marso 2016
Tissue-specific peptide → Nuclear chromatin binding → Gene expression modulation → Cellular differentiation
Downstream effect
Glycemic improvement, modest body-weight reduction, cardiovascular event reduction in high-risk T2DMarso 2016
Proposed ovarian functional support, fertility regulation, hormonal homeostasis restoration
Feedback intact?
Glucose-dependent insulin release preserves physiological feedback
Presumed physiological — Khavinson peptides described as regulatory, not replacement
Origin
Modified GLP-1(7-37) with Lys26 substitution (Arg34) and C-16 palmitoyl-glutamate acylation for albumin bindingSAXENDA (liraglutide) injectio 2014
Extracted from bovine/porcine ovarian tissue; short synthetic peptides (2–4 amino acids)

Frequency
Once daily, same time each day
Once daily or cyclical (10–20 days per month)
Cyclical protocols common in Khavinson bioregulator tradition.
Titration schedule
0.6 → 1.2 → 1.8 → 2.4 → 3.0 mg over 5 weeks

Theoretical / Russian-tradition
Duration
Indefinite for chronic indication
4–12 weeks per cycle
Khavinson protocols typically 1–3 months; repeat cycles as needed.
Reconstitution
Pre-filled commercial pen (no reconstitution)
—
Timing
Any time of day; consistent
—
Standard dose
—
10–20 mg / day (oral) or 1–2 mg SQ
Extrapolated from Khavinson-school protocols; no ovagen-specific PubMed dose studies.
Route
—
Oral (capsule) or subcutaneous
Oral absorption assumed for short peptides; SQ route mirrors other Khavinson bioregulators.

05Administration Protocol
Parameter
Liraglutide
Ovagen
1. Reconstitution / device
Commercial pre-filled pen, no reconstitution required.
Typical dose: 10–20 mg once daily. Capsule form — taken on empty stomach, 20–30 min before meals. Khavinson tradition suggests morning administration.
2. Injection site
SQ — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites.
1–2 mg per injection. Reconstitute lyophilised powder with sterile water if required. Inject into abdomen or thigh; rotate sites.
3. Timing
Once daily, same time each day. Take with or without food.
Common pattern: 10–20 days on, 10 days off. Aligns with menstrual cycle phases in some protocols. Repeat cycles for 2–3 months, then assess.
4. Storage
Refrigerate 2–8 °C unopened; room temp ≤30 °C up to 30 days after first use.
Lyophilised: room temperature, light-protected. Reconstituted: refrigerate 2–8 °C, use within 7–14 days.
5. Needle
Pen-supplied 32G needle.
