Khavinson Protocol

Anti-aging

Components

Rationale

The classic scheme of the Russian bioregulator school: Epitalon (pineal gland/telomerase), Thymalin (thymus/immunity), Pinealon (brain) — short peptides that reportedly restore organ-specific gene expression. Courses of 10–20 days, 1–2× yearly.

Evidence level

Long-running Russian clinical studies (mostly from Khavinson's institute) show improved immune and hormonal markers in the elderly; no independent Western replication exists.

Caution

The mechanism of short peptides (2–4 aa) having systemic effects is scientifically controversial; oral bioavailability is questionable.
