Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator peptide comprised of the sequence Glu-Asp-Leu (EDL), designed to regulate liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract function. It should not be confused with the similarly named ovine follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) product also called Ovagen. Unlike the FSH derivative which promotes ovulation, this Ovagen peptide acts as a tissue-specific bioregulator with effects on DNA transcription and cellular rejuvenation, particularly in the liver and digestive system.
What is Ovagen?
Developed by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson, a foremost researcher in peptide bioregulators, Ovagen crosses cellular and nuclear membranes to influence gene expression directly. By reversing age-related DNA condensation and restoring youthful transcription patterns, Ovagen enhances cell function and reduces senescence in target tissues.
Key Benefits and Research Highlights
Liver Health and Regeneration: Ovagen stimulates liver cell proliferation and prevents fibrosis and scarring that contributes to liver cirrhosis. It helps maintain liver architecture and function, especially important in aging or damaged liver tissue.
Gastrointestinal Mucosal Protection: Ovagen supports the integrity of the GI mucosal barrier, reducing the adverse effects of antibiotics, environmental toxins, chemotherapy, and malnutrition on the digestive tract.
Anti-Aging Effects: By modifying DNA structure in liver fibroblasts and GI mucosal cells, Ovagen promotes youthful cellular function, improving tissue resilience and reducing chronic inflammation associated with aging.
HIV Research: Ovagen has been identified as one of the smallest and most potent inhibitors of HIV-1 protease, an enzyme critical for viral replication. This highly water-soluble peptide inhibits HIV protease at low concentrations, making it a subject of interest in HIV research.
