Ovagen (20 mg Vial)
Ovagen is a synthetic ultrashort tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Leu; EDL) studied as a bioregulator of gastrointestinal and liver tissues. In vitro studies demonstrate that EDL increases cell proliferation and modulates aging-related gene markers (p16, p21, p53, SIRT-6) in renal cell cultures. No controlled human trials exist; available data are preclinical and cell-based. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach with gradual titration using microgram-level dosing.
Detailed protocol below.
| Week | Daily Dose (μg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 10 μg (0.01 mg) | 0.1 units (0.001 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 20 μg (0.02 mg) | 0.2 units (0.002 mL) |
| Weeks 5–6 | 50 μg (0.05 mg) | 0.5 units (0.005 mL) |
| Weeks 7–8 | 100 μg (0.1 mg) | 1 unit (0.01 mL) |
| Weeks 9–16 | 100–150 μg (0.1–0.15 mg) | 1–1.5 units (0.01–0.015 mL) |
- •Peptide Vials (Ovagen, 20 mg each):
- •Insulin Syringes (U-100, 30-unit or 50-unit recommended):
- •Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use 2.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
