Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator that should not be confused with the similarly named Ovagen that contains ovine (sheep) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The two products are not the same and have entirely different functions. While the FSH derivative promotes ovulation, particularly in women suffering from conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the tripeptide is a liver function regulator. Throughout this article, Ovagen will refer to the tripeptide bioregulator.

Ovagen is a Khavinson peptide, developed along with a number of other peptides, by Dr. Vladimir Khavinson. Like other bioregulators, Ovagen is able to cross cell and nuclear membranes to directly regulate DNA structure and transcription patterns. Also, like most other bioregulatory peptides, Ovagen has tissue-specific effects. The Glu-Asp-Leu peptide primarily serves to regulate and normalize liver and digestive tract function, though there is some evidence to suggest it may also be useful in controlling the reproduction of the HIV virus. This latter finding has made Ovagen of interest to HIV researchers looking to understand the virus lifecycle.

According to research from Dr. Khavinson, Ovagen is a bioregulator of the GI tract and liver. In the liver, it has been found to promote cell proliferation and prevent scarring and fibrotic changes that can lead to cirrhosis. In the GI tract, Ovagen helps to boost mucosal barrier function and reduces complications from antibiotic treatment, environmental insults, chemotherapy, malnutrition, and more.

Like most bioregulators, the most robust effects of Ovagen are seen in older individuals. The peptide appears to roll back DNA changes that occur with age, helping to reset the DNA in liver fibroblasts and GI mucosal cells to a more youthful state. In this more youthful state, the DNA is less condensed and therefore more genes are available for transcription. This results in a more functional cell that is less senescent and therefore “healthier.”

Research shows that Ovagen is well tolerate and may be useful in normalizing the function of the liver and GI tract in a number of different inflammatory and disease conditions. It may also be useful in the postoperative setting, during long-term antibiotic therapy, for overcoming the side effects of cancer treatments, and even as a diabetes preventative. Research on the GI and liver effects of Ovagen is ongoing.

Ovagen and HIV

The HIV-1 protease is an enzyme necessary for the HIV virus to survive. It functions to cleave newly synthesized proteins that make up the mature HIV virion. This infectious form of the HIV virus will not function without the HIV-1 protease. In other words, the enzyme is essential for the HIV virus to be able to infect more cells. Without the protease, the HIV virus produces non-infectious progeny and dies out. A number of HIV protease inhibitors are currently FDA approved and used in treatment. Unfortunately, the virus’s high mutation rate results in relatively rapid formation of resistance.

Research on Ovagen reveals that it is an effective HIV-1 protease inhibitor. In fact, it is one of the smallest and most potent protease inhibitors known with an effective concentration of just 50 microM. Unlike other protease inhibitors, Ovagen is highly soluble in water[1]. This latter fact makes it easier to administer.

Ovagen Summary

Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator with primary effects in the liver and GI tract. Though research on this Khavinson peptide is limited at this point, it has shown promise as a potential anti-aging peptide in the liver and GI tract. Ovagen reduces long-term fibrosis in the liver and helps to protect the GI mucosal layer from the effects of antibiotics, environmental toxins, and even chemotherapy. There is also interest in the ability of Ovagen to inhibit the replication of HIV.
