Livagen

Livagen is a short synthetic peptide from the Khavinson bioregulator family, marketed as a liver-targeted agent with a proposed but unproven effect on gene expression. Its evidence rests on a weak base of Russian preclinical work, with no FDA approval. Below you'll find reported dosing, reconstitution, safety, and legal status.

Regulatory statusNot FDA-approved; research chemical / gray-market in the US.

Mechanism

A short synthetic peptide (commonly cited as the tetrapeptide Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala) from the Khavinson bioregulator family, marketed as a liver-targeted agent. Proposed (unproven) mechanism includes tissue-specific modulation of gene expression and chromatin decondensation in liver/lymphocyte cells.

Half-life

uncertain / limited human pharmacokinetic data; presumed rapid clearance but no rigorous human PK exists.

Regulatory status

Not FDA-approved; research chemical / gray-market in the US. Not an FDA-approved drug; sold within Russia in the bioregulator/supplement context only.

Safety

Human safety data are minimal and largely Russian-sourced. Rapid clearance suggests low acute risk but is not a substitute for controlled safety data. Gray-market purity/identity unverified.

Evidence

Weak/limited evidence base: predominantly Russian (Khavinson group) preclinical work, with essentially no independent Western human replication.
