Vilon Dosing Calculator

Dose

1-2 capsules daily

Frequency

1-2 times daily with meals

Duration

10-30 days, repeated every 4-6 months

Route

Oral

Most accessible form; available as capsules from bioregulator suppliers, following standard Khavinson cycling

Dose

In CBA mouse studies by Khavinson and Anisimov, vilon was administered subcutaneously starting at 6 months of age. Chronic administration extended lifespan and reduced spontaneous tumor incidence.

Frequency

Chronic subcutaneous injection in preclinical models

Duration

Long-term administration in mouse lifespan studies

Published in Doklady Biological Sciences (2000) and Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine (2000). Mouse doses are not translatable to human dosing. No human PK data exists.

Dose

Vilon has been marketed in Russia as an oral bioregulator supplement in capsule form. Specific dosing recommendations from Russian manufacturers are not validated by Western regulatory standards.

Frequency

Not established by Western clinical trials

Duration

Not established by Western clinical trials

No formal pharmacokinetic studies demonstrating oral bioavailability of intact vilon dipeptide have been published. Efficacy of oral capsule formulations has not been demonstrated in controlled clinical trials.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 5 mg vial of Vilon?

The community standard is 1 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Vilon vial. That gives a concentration of 2.50 mg/mL, so a 100 mcg dose is 4 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 5.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 2 units. Less water = smaller injection volume but harder to measure precisely.

How many syringe units is a 100 mcg dose of Vilon?

On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, a 100 mcg dose of Vilon is 4 units when the 5 mg vial is reconstituted with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water (2.50 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 2 units (5.00 mg/mL).

What is the standard Vilon dose?

Community-reported protocols for Vilon typically use 100 mcg–500 mcg once daily via Subcutaneous. 100 mcg is a common starting dose. Injectable form for potentially more reliable delivery; doses very low given the dipeptide simplicity

How long does a vial of Vilon last at 100 mcg once daily?

A 5 mg vial of Vilon contains roughly 50 doses at 100 mcg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 50 days (about 7 weeks) of supply per vial. Reconstituted Vilon should generally be used within 28 days when refrigerated.

Where do you inject Vilon?

Vilon is typically administered subcutaneous. Common subcutaneous sites are the lower abdomen (at least an inch from the navel), the outer thigh, and the love handles. Rotate sites with each injection to reduce localized irritation and bruising.

Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for Vilon?

Bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) is strongly preferred for multi-dose vials like Vilon because it inhibits microbial growth and lets a single vial be used over multiple weeks. Sterile water has no preservative and should generally be reserved for single-use preparations only.
