Head-to-head comparison of Livagen and Vesugen — mechanism, side effects, legal status, and pricing.
Livagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala / KEDA) from the Khavinson short-peptide 'bioregulator' series, developed at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Marketed in Russia primarily as a food-supplement-grade cytomax; not FDA-approved in the US; research-use only.
Vesugen is a synthetic tripeptide, Lys-Glu-Asp (KED), from the Khavinson short-peptide 'bioregulator' series, positioned as a short-peptide analog of a bovine vascular-tissue polypeptide complex and claimed to be vasoprotective. Marketed on the Russian/Ukrainian grey market; not FDA-approved in the US; research-use only.

Evidence base is essentially single-lab (Khavinson, Lezhava, and collaborators). In vitro studies on lymphocyte chromatin in elderly subjects and small Russian reports in chronic gastritis and immune senescence. No FDA-registered clinical trials and no Western RCTs.
Key references
Evidence base is single-lab (Khavinson/Linkova and collaborators). Preclinical work includes organotypic neuroimmunoendocrine cultures (Bull Exp Biol Med 2012) and endothelial-cell epigenetics studies (Adv Gerontol 2014). No FDA-registered trials; no Western RCTs in vascular disease.
Key references
Livagen (Immune) and Vesugen (Recovery) are in different categories and target different biological pathways. This is a common pattern in multi-compound research protocols. Researchers should monitor the biomarkers from both profiles and watch for interactions listed in each compound’s contraindications. Consult a licensed healthcare provider before combining any research compounds.
