Prostamax: what it is, studies and status

Amounts studied · Approval status · Half-life notes

What is prostamax?

Prostamax is a synthetic four-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro), one of a set of short "bioregulator" peptides studied in Russia and Georgia, described as targeting the prostate. It is not approved in the US, and we found no published study that gave it to people.

Also known as: Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro.

Amounts studied

There is no approved product and no labeled strength we could confirm. The studies we found used cells and rat tissue, so there is no amount studied in people.

Approval status and how it is used

Prostamax is not an approved drug in the US, and we found no Prostamax product in Drugs@FDA.

All the studies we found are lab studies. In white blood cells from people aged 75 to 86, grown in a dish (Dzhokhadze 2012), prostamax loosened tightly packed chromatin, which the authors read as reactivating genes switched off with age. A heat-based study of human white blood cells (Meskhi 2004) found small changes in chromatin structure. In rat tissue (Zakutskiĭ 2006), it increased cell growth in prostate tissue, and the authors suggested these peptides could be used clinically; no human study followed in what we found.

This work comes from a few small labs and was published mostly in Russian and Georgian journals. Results in cells and rat tissue often do not carry over to people.

Frequently asked questions

What is the half-life of prostamax?+
We could not find a published human half-life for this compound. The studies we found were in cells and rats, so we do not list one.
Does prostamax help an enlarged prostate?+
There is no human evidence. The studies we found looked at chromatin in white blood cells and growth in rat prostate tissue. We found no trial in men with prostate problems.
Can I track prostamax in Dose Track?+
Yes. Prostamax is in Dose Track's research library, so when you add it as a custom compound its details are filled in for you to check. You can then log each dose next to your other compounds, set reminders on your own schedule, and see your history next to your lab results. Your log is stored on your phone and no account is needed. Data only leaves it for features you choose, like AI answers and lab reading.
