What it is
Vilon is described as a synthetic immunoregulatory dipeptide made of lysine and glutamic acid (Lys-Glu). Preclinical research is described as indicating it may raise immune markers including CD5+ lymphocytes and interleukin-2 expression in thymic and splenic cell cultures.
It belongs to a class of short bioregulatory peptides developed through Russian gerontology research. In vitro studies are described as showing the dipeptide can modulate lymphocyte populations and cytokine gene expression.
