Ovagen dose range

The amounts people commonly use, from the low end to the high end, with syringe units, schedule and half-life. The 5 published studies are one click away.

Animal studies only Bioregulators Also called EDL, Glu-Asp-Leu, T-35

Common use ranges

From user guides and clinic write-ups. No drug label exists, and no study has tested these amounts in people. Two community guides agree on 10 to 20 mg a day by mouth for 10 to 30 days, repeated every 3 to 6 months. Neither gives an injected amount. Sources are community and vendor guides only. No approved label exists in any country we found, and the published research comes almost entirely from one Russian research group.

Sources disagree, or there are very few. The amounts below come from a small number of guides, and they do not line up well. Treat every number on this page as uncertain, and check each source yourself.

Half-life
Not measured in any published study
How it is taken
Shot under the skin (subcutaneous), or oral capsule
How long people use it
10 to 20 days in a row, then a break. The course is repeated every 3 to 6 months, which works out to 2 or 3 courses a year.
Total amount per day, by tier
Oral Typical10 mg / dayOral Higher20 mg / dayOral Maintenance10 mg / day

Includes amounts taken by mouth or in the nose. Those are not the same as a shot, see the route in each row below.

Good to know

  • Can be taken with or without food.
  • Oral strengths vary a lot by maker. Some packs list capsules, not milligrams, so the label on the box matters more than any range here.
  • No injected amount is given in the guides. Injectable vials are sold, but with no common dose attached.

See the science: 5 published studies

No human dose data. No published human study of Ovagen states an amount given. Every figure on this page comes from animal studies.

Amounts given to animals in studies

Lowest3 µg/kg into the belly cavity, daily for 3 days (rat)
Most used3 µg/kg into the belly cavity (rat)
Highest3 µg/kg into the belly cavity, after each of 6 daily gentamicin doses (rat)

Read this first. Only one paper states an amount, read from its open full text. All kidney work is from one research group. A Khavinson patent (not peer reviewed) describes 34 hepatitis patients given 1 µg to 5 mg daily, with no PubMed record.

Proof grade: Animal studies only. No human dose data has been published. Amounts are quoted as each study reported them. Where the abstract does not state an amount, the row says so.

How to read the study numbers

  • One study, one group. Each figure is what one team chose for its own participants or animals.
  • Route matters. An amount given into a vein (IV) is not the same as the same amount under the skin, in the nose or by mouth.
  • Animals are not small people. An animal amount is shown as the study gave it. It is not a human amount.
  • Short studies. Many studies ran days or weeks. They do not show what happens over longer use.

Common questions

Is there a human dose for Ovagen?

No published human study of Ovagen states an amount given. The figures on this page come from animal studies only.

Where do these Ovagen numbers come from?

From 5 published studies, each linked to its PubMed or ClinicalTrials.gov record. Every figure was checked against the study abstract or its open full text. Proof grade: Animal studies only.

How long does Ovagen stay in the body?

No published study has measured the half-life of Ovagen, so nobody knows exactly how long one dose stays in the blood.

Is this a recommendation for how much Ovagen to use?

No. This page shows the amounts reported by drug labels, clinics and users, next to what researchers gave in studies. It is not medical advice and not a recommendation for anyone. Talk to a licensed clinician before using any of it.
