Vilon
Also known as: Vilon
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide bioregulator from the Khavinson family studied for immune modulation and anti-aging effects. It is associated with restoring physiological function in thymus and other tissues.

Mechanism of Action
Vilon (Lys-Glu) is a short peptide bioregulator proposed to bind DNA and influence tissue-specific gene expression. It is associated with normalizing immune cell function, supporting thymic activity, and modulating cytokine and proliferation pathways. In aging models it is suggested to restore protein synthesis toward a more youthful pattern and exert geroprotective effects. Its mechanism reflects the broader Cytomax hypothesis that short peptides regulate cellular homeostasis in their target tissue.

Vesugen
Vesugen is a short tripeptide bioregulator studied for support of the vascular system and blood-vessel wall integrity. It is part of the Khavinson peptide family aimed at tissue-specific regulation.
Vesilute
Vesilute is a short bioregulator peptide studied for effects on the microvasculature and skin around the eyes. It is associated with reducing periorbital puffiness and supporting capillary tone.
Thymulin
Thymulin is a zinc-dependent thymic nonapeptide hormone that supports T-cell maturation and modulates immune and neuroendocrine signaling. It is studied as an immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory agent.
