Mechanism of Action
Vilon regulates gene expression in thymic and immune cells. It supports T-cell development and function, potentially reversing age-related thymic involution and immune decline.
Research Summary
Russian studies show immune enhancement and potential longevity benefits. Research demonstrates improved immune parameters in elderly. Part of peptide bioregulator approach.
