Vilon 20mg (Bioregulator)

Vilon

At just two amino acids in length, Vilon is the shortest peptide known to have biological activity. Research shows that Vilon has potent anti-aging effects and that it is a powerful regulator of immune function. There is also good evidence that Vilon helps to regulate the vascular system and promotes hemostasis. Vilon has been shown to reduce the incidence and growth of spontaneous tumors, though its role as an adjuvant in cancer treatment (as opposed to prevention) has been called into question. Overall, Vilon has several staunch advocates, such as Dr. Vladimir Anisimov, who feel that the peptide is a useful geroprotective agent.

Vilon and the Immune System

Research out of Russia indicates that Vilon is a potent regulator of chromatin structure. One study found that Vilon:

• induces unrolling of chromatin,
• activates synthetic processes via reactivation of ribosomal genes in the unrolled chromatin,
• releases repressed genes, and
• does not cause decondensation of pericentromeric structural chromatin[1].nduces unrolling of chromatin,

The net result of the changes that Vilon causes to DNA is reactivation of genes that are otherwise silenced. In general, chromatin is found in either the wound (heterochromatin) or unwound (euchromatin) states. Heterochromatin cannot be accessed by the apparatus that turns genes into proteins and thus functional components of the cell. Genes in these regions of DNA are simply unavailable for protein production.

In general, chromatin helps to regulate which genes are available for transcription and is thus one way that different-cells can have different functions or that the same cells can have different functions over time. Unfortunately, chromatin condensation is also something that occurs as a result of aging and senescence and is at least one reason why our cells and tissues lose function as we get older.

Similar to its activity in lymphocytes, Vilon has been shown to activate interluekin-2 signaling in cells of the spleen[3]. Interleukin-2 is important in coordinating the immune response to microbial infection and helps to prevent autoimmune reactions. By activating lymphocytes and splenocytes while boosting natural protection against autoimmune reactions, Vilon restores the immune system to a more active state and may even be useful in developing treatments for autoimmune diseases.

Adding to its ability to prevent autoimmune reactions is the role of Vilon in the thymus. Research in thymus cultures shows that Vilon increases the proliferation of CD5 T-cells. CD5 is a marker of mature T-helper cells as well as cytotoxic CD8 T-cells. The former helps to regulate the immune system and prevent autoimmune reactions, while the latter is one of the most potent anti-microbial cells in the body[4].

Interestingly, Vilon appears to only reactivate immune functions via genes that have been silenced by changes in chromatin. It does not appear to activate genes that would naturally be silent in the cells it affects. In other words, Vilon does not turn lymphocytes into neurons by activating genes that would normally not be active in healthy lymphocytes. Instead, the peptide appears to boost activity in the immune system while simultaneously helping to prevent autoimmune reactions.

Vilon and Cancer

As pointed out above, Vilon helps to reduce the incidence of cancer in mouse models, which is at least one way in which it prolongs average lifespan. Additional research shows that Vilon not only prevents tumors from forming, but inhibits their growth after they are present[5]. This suggests that Vilon may be both an effective chemotherapeutic in its own right, as well as a potential additive to existing cancer treatments. In the future, Vilon may be a standard addition to everything from chemotherapy to radiation treatment and surgery.

At least one study, out of Russia, contradicts the claim that Vilon may be a useful adjuvant to chemotherapy. The works shows that the combination of Vilon and platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents is problematic rather than synergistic[6]. Unfortunately, this study used only one specific type of chemotherapy and was limited in scope, so the results cannot be generalized. It remains to be seen if Vilon is only effective against cancer on its own or if the peptide can be added to other treatment regimens to boost results.

Vilon in the Heart and Kidneys

The effect of Vilon on the vasculature has been less well studied, but there is some work to suggest that it may have a beneficial effect. Research in mice shows that Vilon changes the expression of more than 36 different genes within the heart. When combined with Epithalon, this number jumps to 144 genes[12]. These findings suggest that, at the very least, Vilon has the ability to alter gene expression patterns in the cardiovascular system, a fact that may improve hemodynamic function.

In fact, research in kidneys, highly vascular organs, shows that Vilon decreases concentrations of transforming growth factor-beta(1) and thus the permeability of microvessels. The net result is improved hemostasis during kidney failure, suggesting that Vilon does, in fact, have a beneficial effect on the vascular system[13].

Furthermore, research in elderly patients with diabetes shows that Vilon can help to optimize coagulation by increasing levels of the natural anticoagulants antithrombin III and protein C while also stimulating fibrinolysis[14]. The result is fewer blood clots in a population prone to clotting and the serious consequences that follow. This further supports the idea that Vilon plays an important role in regulating the vascular system.

Vilon Summary

Vilon is a potent immunomodulator and anti-aging peptide with ample research to back its benefit. There are also high levels of evidence that Vilon reduces the risk of cancer development and progression. Interestingly, Vilon appears to provide better anti-aging and anti-cancer effects when administered early in life and at chronic, low doses. These features may help open the door to better anti-aging research and help scientists to better understand how epigenetic regulation plays an important role in longevity.

Vilon exhibits minimal side effects, low oral and excellent subcutaneous bioavailability in mice. Per kg dosage in mice does not scale to humans.

Storage Instructions:

All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping 3-4 months reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water) to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until you're ready to reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water.

Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4C (39F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.

However, for longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80C (-112F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
