Ovagen

Khavinson Bioregulator

also known as ovarian peptide bioregulator

Short-peptide bioregulator from the Khavinson school, derived from ovarian tissue extracts. Proposed to support ovarian function through tissue-specific regulatory mechanisms. Evidence base limited to Russian-tradition research; PubMed-indexed studies sparse. Mechanism aligns with Khavinson's tissue-specific peptide theory — organ-derived peptides stimulate homeostasis in corresponding tissues via gene expression modulation.

§ II

Mechanism

Edit ↗

Primary target — Ovarian tissue chromatin complexes.

Pathway — Tissue-specific peptide → Nuclear chromatin binding → Gene expression modulation → Cellular differentiation.

Downstream effect — Proposed ovarian functional support, fertility regulation, hormonal homeostasis restoration.

Origin — Extracted from bovine/porcine ovarian tissue; short synthetic peptides (2–4 amino acids).

Feedback intact — Presumed physiological — Khavinson peptides described as regulatory, not replacement.

Evidence basisTheoretical / Russian-tradition
Duration4–12 weeks per cycleKhavinson protocols typically 1–3 months; repeat cycles as needed.
RouteOral (capsule) or subcutaneousOral absorption assumed for short peptides; SQ route mirrors other Khavinson bioregulators.

Administration

Edit ↗
  1. 01
    Oral route

    Typical dose: 10–20 mg once daily. Capsule form — taken on empty stomach, 20–30 min before meals. Khavinson tradition suggests morning administration.

  2. 02
    Subcutaneous route

    1–2 mg per injection. Reconstitute lyophilised powder with sterile water if required. Inject into abdomen or thigh; rotate sites.

  3. 03
    Cyclical protocol

    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. 04
    Storage

    Lyophilised: room temperature, light-protected. Reconstituted: refrigerate 2–8 °C, use within 7–14 days.
