# Peptide Bioregulators: Cytomaxes vs Cytogens - **Author:** GAVAU.LT - **Published:** 2026-04-03 - **Updated:** 2026-09-02 - **Language:** en (English) - **URL:** https://www.gavau.lt/en/blogs/news/peptidu-bioregulatoriai-citomaksai-vs-citogenai - **Image:** https://www.gavau.lt/cdn/shop/articles/photo-1587854692152-cbe660dbde88.jpg?v=1775207731&width=1200 - **Publisher:** GAVAU.LT (https://www.gavau.lt) --- When choosing peptide bioregulators, we often come across two main categories – **cytomaxes** and **cytogens**. The cytomax production process involves special processing of organ tissues during which short peptides (2-4 amino acid chains) are isolated. Although both types work on a similar principle, they have fundamental differences that are important to understand before starting a course. In this article we explain those differences in detail and help you choose the most suitable option. ## Contents 1. What are cytomaxes? 2. What are cytogens? 3. Comparison table 4. When to choose cytomaxes? 5. When to choose cytogens? 6. Optimal combination ## What are cytomaxes (natural peptides)? Cytomaxes are **natural peptide bioregulators**, derived from organs and tissues of animal origin. They were developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson's team and are the first generation of peptide bioregulators, with the longest history of clinical research. The cytomax production process involves special processing of organ tissues during which short peptides (2-4 amino acid chains) are isolated. These peptides retain the full natural informational structure characteristic of the particular organ. ### The most popular cytomaxes: [Cerluten brain and central nervous system peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) [Chelohart heart muscle (myocardial) peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/celohart-60-kapsuliu) [Ventfort blood vessel wall peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/ventfort-60-kapsuliu) [Vladonix thymus gland peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/vladoniks-60-kapsuliu) [Sigumir cartilage and bone tissue peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/sigumir-60-kapsuliu) [Bonomarlot bone marrow peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/bonomarlot-60-kapsuliu) [Bonothyrk thyroid gland peptides](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/bonothyrk-60-kapsuliu) ### Advantages of cytomaxes: - A complete peptide complex with the full natural information - The longest history of clinical research (40+ years) - A peptide complex of broader composition - Often chosen for the main 30-day course Synthetic peptides (cytogens) are created in the laboratory ## What are cytogens (synthetic peptides)? Cytogens are **synthetic peptide bioregulators**, created in the laboratory by reproducing the structure of natural peptides. They are a new-generation product, developed on the basis of the research into cytomaxes. Each cytogen is a single specific peptide sequence that matches exactly the active fragment of the natural peptide. They are made by chemical synthesis and are therefore not of animal origin. ### The most popular cytogens: [Pinealon synthetic brain and nervous system peptide](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) [Vesugen synthetic blood vessel peptide](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/vezugen-60-kapsuliu) [Kristagen synthetic immune system peptide](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/kristagen-60-kapsuliu) ### Advantages of cytogens: - A precisely defined molecular structure - Suitable for vegetarians and vegans (not of animal origin) - Easier to standardise the production process - Ideal for maintenance use between cytomax courses ## Comparison table | Property | Cytomaxes | Cytogens | |---|---|---| | Origin | Natural (animal tissues) | Synthetic (laboratory) | | Composition | Peptide complex | Single peptide | | Scope of composition | Broader (peptide complex) | Targeted (single peptide) | | Suitable for vegetarians | No | Yes | | Recommended use | Main courses | Maintenance courses | ## When to choose cytomaxes? Cytomaxes are the best choice when: - You are starting your first peptide course and want a complex of full composition - You want to support the function of a specific organ - You want to complete a full 30-day course - You are looking for a preparation of full composition for a specific organ ## When to choose cytogens? Cytogens are a better fit when: - You have already completed a cytomax course and want to maintain the result - You follow a vegetarian or vegan diet - You want a targeted effect on a specific function - You take peptides for everyday health maintenance ## Optimal combination: cytomaxes + cytogens Many users choose to **combine both types**. A popular schedule: - 1 **Main course** (30 days): cytomaxes – for example, [Chelohart](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/celohart-60-kapsuliu) for the heart - 2 **Maintenance course** (30 days, after a 1-2 month break): cytogens – for example, [Vesugen](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/vezugen-60-kapsuliu) for blood vessels - 3 Repeat the cycle every 4-6 months Cytomaxes and cytogens can also be taken at the same time for different organs. For example, [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) (a cytomax for the brain) together with [Kristagen](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/kristagen-60-kapsuliu) (a cytogen for immunity). Whichever type you choose, peptide bioregulators are food supplements intended to help maintain the normal function of organs.
