Vilon
Also known as: Lys-Glu dipeptide, Thymus peptide
Vilon is a Khavinson bioregulator consisting of two amino acids (Lys-Glu). It regulates thymus and immune system function, with anti-aging and geroprotective properties.
Beginner Basics
Plain-English guide to Vilon
What it does
Vilon is a short chain made of two building blocks that researchers study for supporting immune system health and thymus gland function. It's commonly used in research exploring aging and immune support.
Typical dose
Researchers typically use 10 mg daily, given as a short injection under the skin or taken by mouth, for 5-10 days per month.
When to inject
Evening is the typical timing. Use it for 5-10 days, then take a break for at least 20 days before starting another cycle.
Storage
Keep the powder in the refrigerator before mixing. After mixing with water, keep it refrigerated and use within the recommended timeframe.
First-timer tip
This peptide works best when you cycle it (use for a week, then stop for weeks)-don't use it continuously every single day.

Research Areas
Side Effects
Mild redness, itching, or slight swelling at the injection site may occur. This typically resolves within 1-2 hours. Ensure proper site rotation and sterile injection technique to minimize occurrence.
Some users report transient fatigue, mild headache, or low-grade malaise during the first 1-2 days of a cycle, consistent with immune system stimulation. These symptoms are self-resolving and do not require intervention.
Although rare, hypersensitivity to the peptide or excipients may occur, presenting as urticaria, angioedema, or anaphylaxis. Discontinue immediately and seek emergency medical care if severe symptoms develop. Perform a skin test or consult an allergist if concerned.
Repeated injections at the same site can cause localized fat loss or lipohypertrophy. Strict site rotation prevents this complication. If lipodystrophy develops, cease injections at that site for at least 2-3 months.

Reconstitution Guide
Do not use saline or bacteriostatic saline, use only bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
Do not shake the vial vigorously; gentle swirling prevents peptide degradation
Discard immediately if the solution appears cloudy, discolored, or contains visible particles
Use within 30 days of reconstitution when stored at 2-8°C
Do not freeze the reconstituted solution; freezing may denature the peptide

Vilon (Lys-Glu) is a Khavinson bioregulator dipeptide that modulates thymus and immune system function through peptide-mediated signaling. It enhances thymic hormone production and supports immune cell differentiation, contributing to geroprotective and anti-aging effects by promoting immune homeostasis and reducing age-related immune decline.
