Khavinson immune bioregulator; Kristagen; T-38

Classification: Khavinson short peptide bioregulator

Mechanism: Tissue-specific gene expression in lymphoid/thymic cells; normalizes T-cell and macrophage activity; doubles HSPA1A heat-shock expression and modulates IL-6

Benefits: Immunomodulation; thymic function support; reduced respiratory infection rates in athletes; convalescence/recovery support

Evidence tier: Russian Research · Availability: Research

  3. Note: Crystagen (also Kristagen, T-38) is one of three short peptides isolated from Thymalin alongside Thymogen (Glu-Trp) and Vilon (Lys-Glu); primary literature is published largely in Russian gerontology journals and English-indexed sources are limited to Khavinson-laboratory reviews — entry confidence is correspondingly lower.
