Prostamax

Also known as: Prostamax

Prostamax is a synthetic peptide bioregulator studied in Russian research for supporting prostate tissue function and urinary health in aging males. It belongs to the short-peptide bioregulator family popularized by Khavinson.

Mechanism of Action

Prostamax is a short peptide proposed to act as a tissue-specific bioregulator that influences gene expression in prostate epithelial and stromal cells. Preclinical work suggests it modulates proliferation and secretory function, supports normalization of prostate tissue architecture, and may reduce inflammatory and oxidative markers. It is conceptually related to the natural prostate bioregulator Prostatic peptide (Prostatilen/Vitaprost). Evidence is based largely on Russian preclinical and limited clinical observation rather than rigorous controlled trials.

It is positioned as a prostate-targeted peptide bioregulator, with research focused on prostate tissue function and urinary health in aging males.

No. It is an unapproved research peptide and is not a substitute for urological evaluation or established treatments.
