Vesugen (Lys-Glu-Asp) (20 mg Vial)
Vesugen (Lys-Glu-Asp, also known as KED) is a tripeptide bioregulator synthesized at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Research suggests it may support vascular endothelial cell proliferation through epigenetic regulation of Ki-67 gene expression. This educational protocol presents a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for clear insulin-syringe measurements.
Detailed protocol below.
| Week | Daily Dose (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 500 mcg (0.5 mg) | 7.5 units (0.075 mL) |
| Week 2 | 1000 mcg (1.0 mg) | 15 units (0.15 mL) |
| Week 3 | 1500 mcg (1.5 mg) | 22.5 units (0.225 mL) |
| Weeks 4–8+ | 1500–2000 mcg (1.5–2.0 mg) | 22.5–30 units (0.225–0.30 mL) |
- •Peptide Vials (Vesugen, 20 mg each):
- •Insulin Syringes (U-100):
- •Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- •Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
