Russian Peptide Bioregulators

Street names: Selank, Semax, DSIP, Pinealon, Livagen, Ovagen, Chonluten, Testagen, Vesilute, KPV

Russian Peptide Bioregulators — Nasal sprays (Rx RU) or lyophilized vials (grey)

What it does

  • Short peptide 'bioregulators' — organ-targeting claims from Soviet-era research
  • Selank: anxiolytic (nasal, mild)
  • Semax: nootropic focus peptide
  • DSIP: sleep-peptide claims

Key risks

  • Soviet-era data quality is low — Western replication mostly absent
  • Grey-market versions far from pharmacy-grade
  • Organ-specific claims (liver, vascular) unproven
  • Nasal-spray sterility critical

Overdose signs

  • Nasal irritation, headache
  • Injection-site infection (vial forms)
