Cardiogen dosage and evidence
Written by Aaron CuhaReviewed Sep 2026
The short answer
Cardiogen is a lab-made peptide from Russian research, aimed at the heart and blood vessels as they age.
Evidence grade for Cardiogen: None. The rule: no study cited on this page yet. A grade counts how much has been done to people, not whether it works.

In plain English
In plain English, from Aaron
This is how I would explain it to a friend. The evidence, with the numbers, is further down the page.
Cardiogen is a tiny lab-made peptide, four building blocks long. It comes from Khavinson's school in Russia, which calls it a bioregulator for the heart and blood vessels. The idea is that it helps them stay young. It is not approved.
What people take it for
- Keeping the heart and blood vessels young.
- Part of a longevity stack of Khavinson peptides.
What studies in people showed
There are no human studies of it on this page. Both sources are reviews by the group that made it. One sets out the bioregulator idea. The other argues the peptide controls molecules tied to ageing heart cells. Neither is a test of whether it works. Since nobody can patent it, nobody is likely to pay for a study.
What people report
Reports, not study results
The good
- We have not collected user reports on this one yet.
The bad
- There are no human studies on this page, so its side effects in people are not known here.
- The group behind these peptides does not report side effects in any regular way.
Where these come from: There are no user reports or human studies on this page to draw from.
My bottom line
Two reviews from the people who made it is not evidence. Your heart deserves blood work, blood pressure checks and training, not a guess in a vial.
An opinion, not a finding. I am a coach, not a doctor.
What it has been measured to do
Nothing indexed yet
The 2 citations on this page do not report a result for any of the 36 goals indexed here. Most of what sits here is something else: a listing of a planned study, a study of how the body handles the drug, a safety report or a government record. None of those tests whether it works.

What is Cardiogen?
Cardiogen is a lab-made peptide from Russian research, aimed at the heart and blood vessels as they age.
Cardiogen is a lab-made peptide four building blocks long. In Khavinson's system it is a 'bioregulator' aimed at the heart and blood vessels. It is studied for keeping them working with age. Both of its sources here are reviews from that same group, not studies of the peptide. A 2002 review sets out the bioregulator idea but does not show Cardiogen works. A 2022 review argues the peptide controls molecules tied to ageing heart and blood vessel cells. That is an argument about how it might work, not proof that it does. It is not approved.
How does Cardiogen work?
It is thought to switch genes on or off in heart and blood vessel tissue, to help them work.
The state of the research
One fact about this whole family of peptides is worth saying plainly. You can check it in about a minute, and almost nobody mentions it. Search the ClinicalTrials.gov registry for epitalon, epithalamin, thymalin, pancragen, cortexin, endoluten, vladonix, or Khavinson himself. Every search returns zero registered studies. So the human claims rest on work nobody registered in advance. That means you cannot check what was measured against what was planned before the results came in. Most of the work also comes from one research group tied to the institute that sells these products. The study summaries do not report side effects in any regular way. So the quiet safety record means side effects were not reported. It does not mean these products are safe. Our own check has a limit. ClinicalTrials.gov is a US registry. These are Russian products, and we did not search a Russian registry or the WHO's world registry. So this shows they are missing from the registry most researchers use, not from every registry there is.

This chart would show how the effect changes as the amount goes up. For this compound, nobody has measured that in people. So we leave it empty. We will not borrow an animal chart and pretend it works the same in people.

The studies we cite
- Review of studies2002Peptides and ageing
Khavinson's review of the bioregulator idea. It does not show that Cardiogen works.
Khavinson's overview of the peptide bioregulator concept; it does not itself establish efficacy for Cardiogen.
- Review of studies2022Senescence-associated secretory phenotype of cardiovascular system cells and inflammaging: perspectives of peptide regulation
A review by Khavinson's group. It argues that Cardiogen's peptide, with a few others, controls molecules tied to ageing and swelling in heart and blood vessel cells. That is an idea for research, not proof, and it comes from the group that made the peptide.
Khavinson-group review arguing that the AEDR tetrapeptide, alongside KED and several approved vasoprotective peptides, regulates molecules involved in cardiovascular cell senescence and inflammaging. It is a mechanistic argument for a research direction, not efficacy data, and it comes from the group that developed the peptide.
Where to buy Cardiogen
44 sellers list Cardiogen in our latest read. They are ranked by trust score, then by archive rating, then by certificate tier, then by the lowest price per milligram. Archive evidence is counted before source-backed. Each path is out of 4, and the two are not added. A higher price does not raise the score. The letter is the certificate chip. 2 of them have a published certificate that names Cardiogen.
Some seller links may pay this site when you buy through them. A payment never changes a seller's tier or rank, and no seller has a say in any page.

Common questions
Has Cardiogen been tested in people?
Not in any study cited here. Cardiogen is a lab-made peptide from Russian research, aimed at the heart and blood vessels as they age.
What is the Cardiogen dosage?
No human dose established. No published study on this page has given this compound to people and reported a result. no study cited on this page yet
Is Cardiogen FDA-approved?
