Thymagen effects

  • Reported improvement in T-cell function and number
  • Support of thymic function in aging populations
  • Recovery support after severe illness
  • Anti-inflammatory effects
  • Modulation of immune gene expression

Vilon effects

  • Reported immunomodulatory effects
  • Life-extension and tumor-reduction in mouse studies (Khavinson group)
  • Possible telomere-related activity
  • Support of T-cell function in elderly populations
  • Modulation of immune gene expression

Thymagen side effects

  • Generally well-tolerated in Russian clinical use
  • Mild injection-site reactions
  • Limited Western safety validation
  • Caution in active autoimmune disease

Vilon side effects

  • Generally well-tolerated in Russian clinical use
  • Mild injection-site reactions
  • Limited Western safety validation
  • Caution in active autoimmune disease

Thymagen dosing ranges

Vilon dosing ranges

Immune support / anti-aging research

1-5 mg · Once daily (SubQ) or sublingual · 10-20 day cycles, repeated 2-3 times per year

Thymagen vs Vilon — common questions

What is the difference between Thymagen and Vilon?

Thymagen: Khavinson short peptide bioregulator targeting thymic function — Glu-Trp synthetic version. Typical dose 1,000-5,000 mcg. Vilon: Khavinson Lys-Glu dipeptide — immunomodulator with documented life-extension activity in mice. Typical dose 1,000-5,000 mcg. Both fall under the Bioregulators category.

Can you stack Thymagen and Vilon?

Stacking Thymagen with Vilon is a protocol-design question best raised with a clinician — it depends on your goal, current bloodwork, and whether both peptides target overlapping mechanisms. Both peptides should be tracked independently with separate injection sites and timing. PinnyPeptide supports multi-peptide stacks with automatic injection site rotation.

Which is dosed more frequently, Thymagen or Vilon?

Thymagen is typically dosed: Once daily (SubQ) or sublingual for Immune support. Vilon is typically dosed: Once daily (SubQ) or sublingual for Immune support / anti-aging research.

Are Thymagen and Vilon FDA approved?

Thymagen: Not FDA approved. Vilon: Not FDA approved.
