Testagen

Bioregulator

Also known as: KEDG, Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly

Tier 3, Preclinical only

Evidence is limited to animal or in-vitro work. No human pharmacokinetics. Any human dose in circulation is extrapolated, and extrapolation across species routinely fails.

Half-life
Not established

No pharmacokinetic study for Testagen found on PubMed, PMC, or ClinicalTrials.gov.

Dosing
No established dose

No dosing study targeting testicular/endocrine endpoints found on allowed hosts. The only allowed-host papers are an in-vitro HeLa nuclear-penetration/DNA-binding assay and an unrelated electrochemistry paper testing the peptide as a corrosion inhibitor, neither establishes a biological dose.

Regulatory status
Not approved by FDA/EMA. Marketed in Russia/CIS as a registered 'peptide bioregulator'/parapharmaceutical, which is not equivalent to drug approval.
Evidence base
in vitro only · confidence: low

Single Russian lineage. The only biological allowed-host study (Fedoreyeva et al., Biochemistry (Moscow) 2011) is an in-vitro nuclear-penetration/DNA-binding assay in HeLa cells, not a testes-specific efficacy or PK study. No in-vivo animal or human efficacy data, no independent Western replication, despite being marketed as a testicular bioregulator. Sequence Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly and MW 447.4 Da confirmed on PubChem (CID 123863700).

Safety

No human safety, toxicology, or adverse-event data for Testagen found on any allowed-host source. Absence of reported harm in the sparse literature is not evidence of safety, no controlled human safety trial has been published.
