Injection Guide
Hepatoprotective tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) that penetrates hepatocyte nuclei to bind DNA in the minor groove at AT-rich promoter regions, upregulates antioxidant enzymes (SOD, glutathione peroxidase, GST) beyond melatonin's capacity, and supports liver regeneration through epigenetic activation of hepatocyte proliferation and anti-fibrotic gene programs
Route
Oral (capsule — standard formulation)
Sites
1 recommended
Frequency
Multiple times daily
Preparation
Ovagen in its prescribed form
Clean, dry storage container
Measuring device if applicable (oral syringe, measuring cup)
Calendar or reminder app for dosing schedule
Pro Tip
Prepare all supplies on a clean surface before you begin. Having everything ready makes the process smoother and more sterile.
Mixing
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather all supplies on a clean, flat surface.
Remove the plastic cap from the peptide vial and wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab. Let it air dry.
Draw the appropriate amount of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe.
Insert the needle into the vial at an angle, aiming at the inside wall of the vial. Slowly push the plunger to let the water trickle down the glass wall -- do NOT squirt directly onto the powder.
Once all water is added, gently swirl the vial in a slow circular motion. Never shake the vial, as this can damage the peptide bonds.
Continue swirling until the powder is completely dissolved and the solution is clear. If particles remain, let the vial sit for a few minutes and swirl again.
Label the vial with the date of reconstitution, the peptide name, and the concentration (e.g. 250mcg per 0.1mL).
Example Calculation
Ovagen comes in pre-measured doses or forms. Follow the exact dosing instructions on your prescription label. No reconstitution or mixing is typically required for this formulation.
Dose Calculation
Use Ovagen exactly as prescribed. Each unit contains the labeled amount. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and response.
Pro Tip
Always add the bacteriostatic water slowly, letting it run down the side of the vial. Never shake the vial -- swirl gently to avoid damaging the peptide.
Location
Site 01
Not applicable—this is not an injectable formulation
Follow your provider's instructions for this injection site. Rotate sites regularly to prevent tissue damage.
Rotate between 1 sites to prevent tissue buildup and ensure consistent absorption.
Pro Tip
Rotate your injection sites with each dose to prevent lipohypertrophy (buildup of fatty tissue). Keep a simple log of where you last injected.
Step by Step
Follow the specific administration instructions for your Ovagen formulation
Take or apply as directed by your healthcare provider
Store properly between uses according to package instructions
Pro Tip
This peptide uses ovagen is administered oral (capsule — standard formulation)—no injection required. Inject at a 90 degree angle into the muscle. Aspirate before injecting to ensure you haven't hit a blood vessel.
Timing
Optimal Timing
Best time
Take Ovagen at the same time each day for consistent blood levels. Morning dosing with breakfast is often preferred, but follow your healthcare provider's specific instructions.
With food?
Ovagen can typically be taken with or without food. Taking it with a light meal may help reduce any GI discomfort. Avoid taking with grapefruit juice or high-fat meals unless specifically directed.
Stacking notes
Ovagen should be used as directed by your healthcare provider. If combining with other medications or supplements, discuss potential interactions with your provider. Avoid combining with compounds that have overlapping mechanisms unless specifically guided by a medical professional.
Sample Daily Schedule
As prescribed (twice daily)
As prescribed by your healthcare provider injection
Site: Oral (capsule — standard formulation)—rotate sites if applicable
Maintain a consistent schedule for optimal results with Ovagen. Set reminders if needed. If you miss a dose, follow your healthcare provider's instructions—do not double up on doses to compensate.
Dosing Tiers
Dose
1 capsule (10 mg) once daily
Frequency
Once daily
Duration
10 days initial assessment
Conservative oral protocol using the standard capsule formulation. Take 15-30 minutes before meals for optimal absorption. Alternatively, sublingual liquid (5-6 drops, 3-4 times daily) provides faster absorption. Effects are gradual — hepatoprotective gene activation builds over the treatment course. Monitor liver function parameters if available.
Dose
1 capsule (10 mg) twice daily or sublingual 5-6 drops 3-4 times daily
Frequency
Twice daily (capsule) or 3-4 times daily (sublingual)
Duration
10 days per treatment course, 3-4 cycles annually
Standard Khavinson protocol providing a total course dose of 100-200 mg over 10 days. Sublingual formulation provides 0.1 mg peptide/mL with 5-6 drops administered 10-15 minutes before meals. Repeat courses every 3-6 months. Can be combined with Livagen for comprehensive liver bioregulation. Hepatoprotective gene programs activate during the course and persist beyond treatment.
Dose
10 mg twice daily (oral) or 2-8 mcg/kg subcutaneously
Frequency
Twice daily oral or once daily injectable
Duration
10-30 days per course
Extended protocol for individuals with significant age-related hepatic decline or recovering from liver disease. Injectable route provides more predictable bioavailability. Often combined with Livagen for dual-peptide liver support and Epithalon for comprehensive anti-aging. The 266-person clinical study used peptide courses annually over 6-8 years with cumulative benefits. Medical supervision recommended.
Preservation
Before Mixing
Store Ovagen in the refrigerator at 36-46°F (2-8°C) in its original packaging. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Check the expiration date before use. Some formulations may be stored at room temperature for limited periods—check your specific product labeling.
After Mixing
Once reconstituted, Ovagen should be kept refrigerated at 36-46°F (2-8°C) and used within the timeframe specified on your product labeling (typically 14-28 days). Label the vial with the reconstitution date. Do not use if the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains particles.
Shelf Life After Mixing
14 days refrigerated (reconstituted injectable); oral capsules stable per manufacturer specifications; sublingual liquid per manufacturer directions
Signs of Degradation
Discard the vial immediately if you notice any of these:
Solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles (should be clear)
Product has been exposed to temperatures outside the recommended storage range
Product has been frozen (unless specifically designed for freeze-thaw stability)
Expiration date has passed or reconstituted solution has exceeded its use-by date
Unusual odor, color change, or visible contamination
Important
When to Stop
Severe or worsening side effects that don't improve with dose adjustment or supportive care
Signs of an allergic reaction—rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing
Your healthcare provider recommends discontinuation based on your clinical response
Development of any new medical condition that may be contraindicated with Ovagen
Pregnancy or planning to become pregnant (unless specifically approved for use during pregnancy)
Abnormal lab results or clinical markers that suggest adverse effects
Ovagen should only be started, adjusted, or discontinued under medical supervision. This information is for educational purposes only and does not replace professional medical advice. Never stop a prescribed treatment without consulting your healthcare provider first, as abrupt discontinuation may have consequences.
