Compound Deep-Dives: Bioregulators & Gut Peptides

This section collects detailed, single-compound profiles for peptide bioregulators and gut-health agents that sit outside the main research library. Each page covers what the compound is, its proposed mechanism, the state of the published research, and practical considerations — with sources, not hype.

The compounds here fall into two broad groups:

• Peptide bioregulators (short Khavinson-style peptides studied largely in Russian literature) — Cartalax, Sigumir, Thymagen, and Vladonix.
• Gut & barrier-health compounds — Larazotide (a zonulin/tight-junction modulator), Tributyrin (a butyrate prodrug), Zinc-L-Carnosine, and PEA (palmitoylethanolamide).

Profiles are educational only and not medical advice. Where clinical evidence is thin or early-stage, we say so plainly. For the broader picture on this class, see the Bioregulators Guide and the Gut Healing Stack.
