Vilon
Vilon (Lys-Glu dipeptide bioregulator)
A synthetic dipeptide from the Khavinson bioregulator research studied for immune and anti-aging effects.
Overview
Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide of lysine and glutamic acid, one of the short peptide bioregulators from the Khavinson research school. It is studied for immune restoration and effects on aging biomarkers, largely in Russian preclinical and small clinical work. Independent replication is limited, so its evidence is preliminary and it is not approved.
Mechanism of action
Proposed to regulate tissue-specific gene expression, supporting immune function and cellular aging pathways.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vilon proven to slow aging?
No. Claims come mostly from one research tradition with limited independent replication, so it is preliminary.
