Cardiogen
Also known as: AEDR, Cardiac Bioregulator, Chelohart
AEDR | Cardiovascular Bioregulator Peptide
Overview
Cardiogen is a Khavinson bioregulator peptide consisting of four amino acids, derived from heart tissue research. Unlike larger peptides that work on cell surfaces, Cardiogen penetrates directly to the cell nucleus where it binds to specific DNA regions to regulate gene expression. This epigenetic mechanism supports tissue repair and improves cardiovascular function, particularly benefiting the heart and blood vessels.
Key benefits
- Supports cardiac tissue repair and regeneration
- Regulates cardiovascular gene expression
- Improves myocardial function
- May support post-cardiac event recovery
- Epigenetic mechanism for targeted action
- Works at DNA/nuclear level
- Part of comprehensive anti-aging protocols
- Well-researched Khavinson peptide
Mechanism of action
Cardiogen works through epigenetic regulation by penetrating cell nuclei and interacting with specific DNA regions, histones, and nucleosomes. It regulates which genes are activated or suppressed without changing DNA sequence. This mechanism supports cardiac tissue repair, enhances myocardial function, and improves cardiovascular tissue regeneration by influencing gene expression in heart cells.
