Vilon 20mg (10 Vials / Kit)

What is Vilon?

Vilon, the dipeptide Lys-Glu, is one of the short peptide bioregulators developed by Vladimir Khavinson’s group in St. Petersburg and one of the smallest. It was derived from work on thymus extracts and is grouped with Thymogen as a thymic bioregulator.

How it is understood to work

Studies from the originating group report effects on T-lymphocyte differentiation and on heterochromatin decondensation in aging cells, and modeling work suggests the dipeptide can bind DNA. These findings have seen limited independent replication.

Research status

Research covers immune function and lifespan in rodents and fruit flies and cell-culture work on gene expression. It is preclinical, and the literature comes largely from one research network.
