Retatrutide Side Effects: Adverse Events Reported in Published Trials

A systematic review of adverse events documented in published clinical trials of retatrutide, a triple agonist investigational compound, including gastrointestinal event rates, discontinuation data, and the mechanistic reasons its safety profile diverges from dual-agonist predecessors.

Prostamax (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro): Chromatin Effects in Human Lymphocytes

Prostamax has two published studies naming it, both in human lymphocytes and both aimed at chromatin rather than prostate tissue. What they report, and what the prostate label rests on.

Cardiogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg): Myocardial Tissue Culture and a Sarcoma Model

Cardiogen has two published studies naming it — one in myocardial tissue culture from young and old rats, one reporting a tumour-modifying effect in senescent rats. Both are ageing-model designs.

Bronchogen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu): DNA Thermostability and a Sequence Discrepancy

Bronchogen has one published study naming it — a biophysical measurement of its effect on DNA thermostability, which tests the family mechanism at the level of the molecule itself.

Testagen (Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly): Its Only Published Study Is About Metal Corrosion

Testagen has exactly one study naming it in PubMed — and it is a materials-science paper on copper corrosion inhibition, not biology. What that means for anyone evaluating the compound.

Vesugen (Lys-Glu-Asp): Evidence Status of the Family's Structural Hub

Vesugen is the KED tripeptide that three other catalog compounds extend by a single residue — and it has no published study naming it. What is established, and the contrast with Pancragen.

Vesilut / Vesilute (Glu-Asp): The Smallest Bioregulator, and a Fragment of a Larger One

Vesilut is the dipeptide Glu-Asp (ED) — a sequence contained within Prostamax, Vesugen, Livagen and Pancragen. Shared substructure is a hypothesis to test, not evidence to cite.

Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly): Telomerase Research and What Replicated

Epithalon is the one Khavinson bioregulator with current international replication. A citation-by-citation summary of the telomerase work, from the 2003 original through independent 2025 studies — including the correction notice.

Pinealon (Glu-Asp-Arg): Neuroprotection Research in Animal Models

Pinealon is the CNS-associated member of the Khavinson family, with published work on cell viability, free-radical suppression and prenatal hyperhomocysteinemia — all animal or cell models. What each study actually reports.

Cortagen (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro): Injured Nerve Function and a Tissue-Specificity Puzzle

Cortagen is a cortex-derived tetrapeptide with published work on injured nerve function and cerebral ischaemia — plus a microarray study of its effect on gene expression in heart, which complicates the tissue-specificity story.

Livagen (Lys-Glu-Asp-Ala): Chromatin Activation in Lymphocytes

Livagen is one of the few bioregulators whose published work tests the family mechanism directly — chromatin activation in lymphocytes from older donors, using human cells rather than a phenotype proxy.

Pancragen (Lys-Glu-Asp-Trp): The Only Bioregulator With Primate Data

Pancragen has six published papers naming it — the largest compound-specific literature in the Khavinson family — including two studies in old rhesus monkeys. What primate data does and does not buy you.
