Libidon
Khavinson natural peptide complex derived from prostate tissue — studied for BPH-related prostate function support and male reproductive health in aging.
🔬 Mechanism of Action
Libidon is a Khavinson Cytomax derived from prostate tissue, containing prostate-specific peptides that regulate gene expression in prostatic epithelial cells, smooth muscle stroma, and periurethral glandular tissue.
Libidon modulates: (1) androgen receptor (AR) expression balance — normalizing rather than blocking AR signaling, (2) 5-alpha reductase type II expression (the enzyme converting testosterone to DHT in prostate tissue), (3) anti-proliferative TGF-β1 and pro-apoptotic caspase pathways that prevent excessive prostatic growth, and (4) smooth muscle relaxation mediators that affect urinary flow.
In Russian clinical practice, Libidon is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) management, age-related prostate health maintenance, and post-prostatitis rehabilitation.
