Visoluten
The Khavinson retinal bioregulator preparation, marketed in Russia for age-related retinal change including macular degeneration support. Evidence base is Russian-language Khavinson-group studies. Not FDA- or EMA-approved.
A retinal-tissue-derived short peptide preparation in the Khavinson cytomedine series. Marketed in Russia for age-related retinal decline. Evidence for efficacy in age-related macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy is limited to Russian-language studies from the Khavinson group and affiliated ophthalmology centers, with minimal methodological rigor by Western standards.
Mechanism of action
Proposed tissue-specific transcriptional modulation in retinal cells under the Khavinson bioregulator framework. Not mechanistically characterized at molecular-target resolution in peer-reviewed Western literature.
Primary uses
- Age-related retinal aging support (Russian nutraceutical positioning)
- Adjunct in age-related macular degeneration (Russian clinical positioning)
- Adjunct in diabetic retinopathy (Russian clinical positioning)
Typical dosing
Russian nutraceutical dosing. No controlled efficacy data.
Regulatory status
Not FDA- or EMA-approved. Russian nutraceutical status only.
