Cardiogen
Also known as: Heart peptide bioregulator · Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly cardiac
A tetrapeptide cardiac bioregulator from the Khavinson series targeting myocardial tissue. Normalizes myocardial cell function, reduces cardiac oxidative stress, and provides cardioprotection against ischemia and aging-related cardiac decline. Studied for heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and post-infarction recovery.
Mechanism of Action
Cardiogen penetrates cardiomyocyte nuclei and regulates transcription of cardioprotective genes. It reduces lipid peroxidation in cardiac tissue, modulates calcium handling, and upregulates mitochondrial protective proteins. Unlike systemic cardiac drugs, Cardiogen's organ-targeting makes it selective for myocardial tissue with minimal off-target effects.
Benefits
- Normalizes cardiomyocyte function
- Cardioprotective against ischemia and reperfusion injury
- Reduces cardiac oxidative stress
- Anti-aging effects in myocardial tissue
- Post-infarction recovery support
- Reduces myocardial fibrosis
- Arrhythmia-modulating properties in aging hearts
Side Effects & Risks
- Generally well tolerated
- Injection site reactions
- Monitor cardiac function in heart disease patients

Storage & Reconstitution Guide
Storage Temperature
-20°C (lyophilized)
24 months (lyophilized), 28 days (reconstituted)
Reconstitution Solvent
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)

More in Healing & Recovery
Cartilage peptide bioregulator
A cartilage and bone-targeting peptide bioregulator from the Khavinson series. Studied for arthritis, osteochondrosis, fracture recovery, and joint aging. Stimulates chondrocyte proliferation and collagen synthesis in cartilage tissue, supporting structural repair and maintenance of joint integrity.
Cibinetide
A synthetic 11-amino acid peptide that mimics the tissue-protective actions of erythropoietin without its erythropoietic effects. Highly effective for neuropathic pain and nerve repair.
BioLiver
A liver-targeting tetrapeptide bioregulator. Normalizes hepatocyte function, reduces liver fibrosis, improves bile acid metabolism, and protects against hepatotoxicity. Studied for NAFLD, alcohol-related liver damage, hepatitis recovery, and liver aging.
TB4 Fragment
A synthetic 4-amino acid fragment (Ac-SDKP) derived from the N-terminus of Thymosin Beta-4. This specific fragment is responsible for many of TB-500's anti-inflammatory, stem cell mobilization, and cardiac healing properties, in a more targeted and stable form.
