Vesugen dose range

The amounts people commonly use, from the low end to the high end, with syringe units, schedule and half-life. The 6 published studies are one click away.

Animal studies only Bioregulators Also called KED, Lys-Glu-Asp, vezugen, T-38

Common use ranges

From user guides and clinic write-ups. No drug label exists, and no study has tested these amounts in people. Oral amounts agree across two guides at 1 to 2 capsules or 10 to 20 mg a day. Injected amounts disagree by about 1000 times, from 10 mcg every other day to 10 mg a day. Sources are community and vendor guides only. No approved label exists in any country we found, and the published research comes almost entirely from one Russian research group.

Sources disagree, or there are very few. The amounts below come from a small number of guides, and they do not line up well. Treat every number on this page as uncertain, and check each source yourself.

Half-life
Not measured in any published study
How it is taken
Shot under the skin (subcutaneous), or oral capsule
How long people use it
10 to 20 days in a row, then a break. The course is repeated every 3 to 6 months, which works out to 2 or 3 courses a year.
Mixing used for the units
20 mg vial + 2 mL water. 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe = 100 mcg.

Good to know

  • Oral strengths vary a lot by maker. Some packs list capsules, not milligrams, so the label on the box matters more than any range here.
  • Some shops sell a product called Vesilute. It may or may not be the same peptide.

See the science: 6 published studies

No human dose data. No published human study of Vesugen states an amount given. Every figure on this page comes from animal studies.

Amounts given to animals in studies

Lowest400 microg/kg once a day for 2 months, into the belly (Alzheimer model mouse)
Most used400 microg/kg once a day (mouse)
Highest400 microg/kg once a day for 2 months, into the belly (mouse)

Read this first. Only one living-animal study states a dose. Small Russian human studies gave it by mouth but no abstract states the amount. Lab dish work used 0.05 ng/ml and nanomolar levels.

Every study used for this page

Proof grade: Animal studies only. No human dose data has been published. Amounts are quoted as each study reported them. Where the abstract does not state an amount, the row says so.

How to read the study numbers

  • One study, one group. Each figure is what one team chose for its own participants or animals.
  • Route matters. An amount given into a vein (IV) is not the same as the same amount under the skin, in the nose or by mouth.
  • Animals are not small people. An animal amount is shown as the study gave it. It is not a human amount.
  • Short studies. Many studies ran days or weeks. They do not show what happens over longer use.

Common questions

Is there a human dose for Vesugen?

No published human study of Vesugen states an amount given. The figures on this page come from animal studies only.

Where do these Vesugen numbers come from?

From 6 published studies, each linked to its PubMed or ClinicalTrials.gov record. Every figure was checked against the study abstract or its open full text. Proof grade: Animal studies only.

How long does Vesugen stay in the body?

No published study has measured the half-life of Vesugen, so nobody knows exactly how long one dose stays in the blood.

Is this a recommendation for how much Vesugen to use?

No. This page shows the amounts reported by drug labels, clinics and users, next to what researchers gave in studies. It is not medical advice and not a recommendation for anyone. Talk to a licensed clinician before using any of it.
