MOLECULAR INFORMATION
Molecular information
- Length
- 2 amino acids
- Type
- Dipeptide bioregulator · claimed thymic / immune modulator
Amino acid sequence
Lys-Glu Vilon is one of the Khavinson family of “short bioregulator peptides” — in this case a simple dipeptide of lysine and glutamate.
Claims vs evidence
- Thymic / immune support in ageing — preclinical only, single-group
- Lifespan extension — claimed in rodent studies, not replicated
Why we grade it D
Same single-source evidence pattern as the rest of the family.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Vilon?
- A two-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Glu) from the Khavinson "bioregulator" family. Claimed to support thymic function and immune regulation in ageing populations.
- Is Vilon authorised anywhere?
- No — not authorised by any major Western regulator. Russian-origin grey-market product.
- Why grade D for such a simple peptide?
- The grade reflects evidence, not molecule size. Even the simplest dipeptide needs adequately-powered human RCTs to support therapeutic claims, and Vilon has not been independently replicated outside its source country.
