What studies have looked at
Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.
- In animals or the lab
In heart-muscle tissue cultures from young and old rats, Cardiogen stimulated cell growth at both ages and lowered levels of p53, a protein involved in cell death.
Source: PMID 20210190, checked 1 Nov 2026
- In animals or the lab
In cultured mouse embryonic cells (fibroblasts), the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg raised cytoskeletal proteins 2 to 5 times and nuclear-matrix proteins 2 to 3 times.

How to track it in Peptimes
Add Cardiogen in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Not FDA-Approved”.
- Routes: the app lets you record whichever route you used; none is established. Its routes are subcutaneous, intramuscular, oral, sublingual, nasal, topical and Other.
- Logging: the amount you took, the route and how you feel.
- Injection sites: subcutaneous and intramuscular doses record the site, and Insights shows where you’ve injected and how recently. It never suggests where to inject next. Other routes skip this step.
- Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.
Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell Cardiogen or any other compound.
