Cardiogen
Cardiogen is a short-chain bioregulator peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg) developed through Professor Khavinson's bioregulator research. It specifically targets cardiac tissue, promoting repair and normalization of heart function at the cellular level. Cardiogen regulates gene expression in cardiomyocytes, supports cardiovascular health, and helps restore function after cardiac stress or age-related decline. It is part of the Khavinson bioregulator family alongside Thymalin, Epithalon, and Cartalax.
