Cerluten (Brain Peptide Bioregulator)

Updated March 15, 2026

Evidence at a Glance

Regulatory statusExperimental
Khavinson CNS/brain peptide extract; registered in Russia as a bioregulator/supplement, no FDA/EMA approval; sold elsewhere as a research chemical.
Human evidenceAnecdotal only
Animal evidenceLimited

Human claims rest on uncontrolled Russian/vendor reports rather than independent randomized trials, and the peptide has no approval outside its bioregulator registration in Russia.

What the research does not support

  • It is not approved by the FDA or EMA and is sold only as a research chemical.
  • No independent, peer-reviewed randomized trials demonstrate any clinical benefit.
  • It has not been shown to restore vision or reverse retinal disease in controlled studies.
  • It is not a proven anti-aging or brain-repair therapy in humans.

What is Cerluten?

Cerluten is a brain-targeting peptide bioregulator designed to support CNS tissue function through epigenetic modulation of neuronal gene expression. It represents the Khavinson approach to neuroprotection — using tissue-specific short peptides to restore youthful gene expression patterns.

Research Applications

Cognitive aging, neuroprotection, post-stroke recovery support, neurodegenerative disease models, and CNS tissue maintenance.

Dosage Information (Research Use)

Oral capsules: 1-2 capsules daily for 10-30 day courses. Injectable: 10 mg/day for 10-day courses. Research use only.

Reconstitution & Handling

Capsules taken orally. Injectable form: standard BAC water reconstitution.

Half-Life & Pharmacokinetics

Short — typical of small peptide bioregulators.

Reported Observations in Literature

Generally well-tolerated in published research. No significant adverse effects reported.

How Cerluten Works

Cerluten is a peptide bioregulator derived from brain tissue extracts, designed to modulate gene expression in central nervous system cells. It targets neuronal resilience pathways, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and neurotransmitter balance maintenance. Like other Khavinson bioregulators, it works at the epigenetic level to normalize tissue-specific gene expression.

Research Findings

Part of the Russian peptide bioregulator tradition. Studied for age-related cognitive decline, post-stroke recovery support, and neurodegenerative condition models. Available in oral capsule form in some markets.

Dosage & Administration

Oral capsules: 1-2 capsules daily for 10-30 day courses. Injectable: 10 mg/day for 10-day courses. Research use only.

Safety & Side Effects

Generally well-tolerated in published research. No significant adverse effects reported.

Important: All safety information is derived from published research, primarily animal studies. No controlled human clinical trial data exists unless explicitly noted. This compound is sold for research purposes only.
