What is Vesugen?

Vesugen is a very short, lab-made peptide developed to support healthy blood vessels. It works at the gene level inside the cells lining blood vessels, helping to counteract age-related decline in how well those vessels function. It's used in longevity and anti-aging research, with limited clinical data mainly coming from Russian studies on older adults.

How Does Vesugen Work?

It works inside the cells lining blood vessels to help switch on genes that encourage those cells to multiply and to activate a protein (SIRT1) that supports nitric-oxide-driven relaxation of blood vessels. This combination helps support healthy circulation and reduce oxidative damage in vessel walls.

How to reconstitute Vesugen

View guide

The materials you'll need and step-by-step instructions for safely mixing Vesugen with bacteriostatic water.

Materials needed

Your Vesugen vial (lyophilized)

Alcohol swabs

Bacteriostatic sterile water

3 mL syringes (Luer Lock tip)

25G or 27G needles (Luer Lock). Other gauges may also be acceptable.

Sharps container (optional)

1

Remove the caps

Remove the caps from both your Vesugen vial and your bacteriostatic water vial.
2

Sanitize the rubber stoppers

Wipe down the rubber stoppers on both vials with alcohol swabs and let them dry for about 3 minutes.
3

Attach the needle

Take your 3 mL syringe and needle. Twist the needle's plastic hub into the Luer Lock tip on the syringe to secure it.
4

Draw the bac water

Pull back on the plunger to draw your desired volume of bacteriostatic water. If you overfill, just push the excess back in until you reach the right marker on the syringe.

How much bac water? Vesugen typically comes in a 20 mg vial. We recommend 3 mL of bacteriostatic water, though anywhere between 1 mL and 3 mL is acceptable. For larger vials you can use up to 5 mL — more bac water makes microdosing easier, but insulin needles usually max out at 1 mL per injection. That means a lot of bac water might force you into multiple injections to hit your target dose. Unless you're microdosing, 2 mL per vial is a solid rule of thumb.
5

Insert the needle into the Vesugen vial

With the bac water in your syringe, insert the needle into the Vesugen vial at a slight angle to avoid pressure buildup.

Use a thin needle: Stick to 25G or higher to avoid damaging the rubber stopper. Higher gauge means a thinner needle.
6

Release the water gently

Let the water run gently down the side of the vial. Don't inject it forcefully.

Heads up: Sometimes the plunger pushes itself in as soon as the needle enters the vial. Hold the plunger back so you have full control over how fast the bac water enters.
7

Swirl to dissolve

Avoid shaking. Gently swirl, flip, and roll the vial to dissolve the powder.

Be patient: This usually takes 2 to 5 minutes of consistent swirling, mixing in a circular motion, and gently flipping the vial up and down. The water needs to run through the powder many times to fully dissolve it. Don't shake or get aggressive with it.
8

Check for full dissolution

The solution should be clear with no visible particles. If it's cloudy or clumpy, wait a minute and repeat the swirling step.
9

Cap, dispose, and store

Once you're done, cap the needle and dispose of it (ideally in a sharps container). Store the reconstituted Vesugen vial in the fridge whenever it's not in use. It will stay good for approximately 30 days.

How to Store Vesugen

Freeze the dry powder somewhere dry and dark. Once mixed with liquid, refrigerate and use within about a month, avoiding repeated freezing and thawing.

Lyophilized Storage

-20°C in dry, dark conditions.

Reconstituted Storage

Refrigerate at 2–8°C, use within 28 days.

Handling Notes

Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

What Are the Benefits of Vesugen?

What research says it may help with, and how it works in the body.

vascular health

Helps limit the buildup of fatty plaque deposits that narrow and stiffen blood vessels.

Reduces damage to the thin inner lining of blood vessels, a problem that contributes to heart and vascular disease.

Helps protect blood vessels from wearing down with age by influencing which genes inside cells are turned on or off.

antiaging

Adjusts the levels of a protein called sirtuin 1 that is linked to longevity, producing some of the same effects seen with calorie-restricted diets.

Helps reverse the harmful inflammatory signals that aging cells release, which can otherwise damage nearby healthy tissue.

Helps a type of stem cell (found in bone marrow and other tissues) multiply more and slows down the process of cells becoming old and worn out.

What Are the Side Effects of Vesugen?

Who should avoid it, warning signs to watch for, and what to know before combining it with other compounds.

How Long Should a Vesugen Cycle Last?

This breaks down how long a typical Vesugen cycle runs and what research suggests happens at each stage. Research shows that staying on a peptide continuously, without a break, may make it less effective over time.

That's why most research protocols build in a break between cycles, often called a washout period, to let the body reset before starting again.
