Testagen
Testagen
Peptide bioregulator researched for testicular function and hormonal support.
Key takeaways
- Synthetic testis-targeted tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly) from the Khavinson bioregulator program.
- No human evidence it affects testosterone, fertility, or the HPG axis.
- Plotter values are estimates modeled on similar short peptides, not measured human PK.
- Reported 10–20 day courses are anecdotal; no established human dosing exists.
Reported dosing protocols
Protocols reported in research literature and clinic/community use — informational context, not a dosing recommendation.
| Use case | Dose | Route | Frequency | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Testicular / hormonal support (community) | 1–2 mg | SubQ; oral capsules also sold | Once daily | 10–20 days, repeated 2–3× yearly |

Frequently asked questions
Does Testagen raise testosterone?
There's no evidence it does. No human study has measured testosterone after Testagen, and the preclinical work doesn't demonstrate HPG-axis effects. Claims online are marketing, not data.
Can Testagen help with fertility?
No clinical evidence supports that. Male-factor infertility has established workups and treatments; Testagen has never been tested in a randomized fertility trial.
Is Testagen suppressive like steroids?
No data shows HPG suppression either, since it isn't a hormone and has no demonstrated endocrine activity in humans. The honest answer is that its endocrine effects, good or bad, are unstudied.
