Cardiogen 20mg (10 Vials / Kit)

Cardiogen at a glance

Cardiogen, sometimes written as AEDR, consists of alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid and arginine. It is part of the short-peptide bioregulator series developed at Vladimir Khavinson's institute in St. Petersburg, in which each sequence is matched to an organ. Cardiogen is the heart-associated member, designed with reference to peptides isolated from cardiac tissue. A close relative, Cortagen, differs only in its final residue and is assigned to nervous tissue instead.

Price and availability

A kit of 10 vials at 20mg each (200 mg in total) from Uther Peptide, shipped from China. At $150.00 for the kit, that works out to $0.75 per mg. 3 brands currently sell Cardiogen here, so compare their listings before ordering. As with every order here, the brand is paid only after you confirm delivery.

What it is studied for

Its developers propose that Cardiogen acts on gene expression controlling cell division and programmed cell death, rather than through a membrane receptor. In cell culture they have reported improved survival of heart muscle cells under stress and effects on the growth of fibroblasts, the cells that produce connective tissue and scar. Some studies also describe changes in proteins associated with apoptosis. The molecular target remains undefined, and these mechanisms have not been worked out outside the originating group.

Research and regulatory status

The research base is preclinical: cardiac cell cultures and rodent experiments, published mostly in Russian-language sources by the developers and their collaborators. No registered human trials exist, and Cardiogen holds no approval as a medicine. Its findings are provisional, and anyone citing them should note how narrow the evidence base is. It is listed on the marketplace for laboratory research only.

Checking the lab data

A useful certificate for Cardiogen pairs HPLC purity with a mass spectrometry result matching Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg. Because Cortagen differs by a single residue, the mass check readily separates the two. The report should also state measured peptide content per vial, describe a white freeze-dried cake, and name the sequence explicitly rather than relying on the product name, with the testing lab and batch number shown.

Storage and preparation

Freeze-dried peptide keeps best sealed, cold and dark. Once it has been dissolved, refrigerate it, avoid repeated warming and follow the stability limits in your study protocol.

Concentration arithmetic: one 20 mg vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 10 mg/mL, or 20 mg/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.
