Hard to say quantity without a price, but I am ok with equal quantities of Epitalon and Thymalin for about $400. Less money is better though.
on the dosage question.
I know that bodybuilders do stuff in stages, so that there is no kidney overload.
I just had a physical, and my doctor said I had a lot of protein in my urine, a sign the kidneys are overworked.
So, this is probably the reason Khavinson has the regimen stated.
I would suggest taking a kidney/ liver cleanse, like milk thistle,for those of us perhaps doing more than the 10 mg for whatever.... six weeks ?, once a year.
I have been taking it regularly until now , since January.
I'm not necessarily convinced about the 'more is better'-approach. There is no research that supports using higher amounts of Epitalon permanently, or even for weeks or months in a row. There has been research pointing out the detrimental effects of taking certain anti-oxidants that most considered healthy in larger doses for longer amounts of time. Why risk it? We are doing this to obtain health benefits, I assume, but why do some here think that using more is always better?
I would be worried if I turn out to have a lot of protein in my urine. And this is only one issue that you did find out through a physical, what about other potential issues you may not find out about.
Aren't we promoting the right amount per individual, which can vary considerably? ...Rather than "more is better?"
My threshold for feeling the effects of niacin are ~12-standard deviations from normal, so I would never assume that someone else would thrive on some of the high potencies that are regular parts of my regimen.
I have made mistakes by being too eager to use high potencies. My body contains too much selenium, which is one metal that no one seems to know how to chelate out of the body. Fortunately, the mild elevation in mercury that I have right now is likely counteracted by selenium's protective effects.

As to worries about toxicity caused by Khavinson's peptides, can anyone provide a study that shows any deleterious effect from any of Khavinson's peptides.
I have used Epitalon for about three months once, with Thymulin brought in once.
Khavinson did answer a question about it thought:
What are the potential side effects of peptides?
All our peptide bioregulators consist of peptides, and peptides consist of amino acids. All of that is part of our food. All of our bioregulators can be find in products – meat, fish, plant based protein food. Note the difference, I do not call our products drugs or food supplements, these are the bioregulators, that is, natural products that take part in the life circulation process. They can be found in all types of food, even plants have peptides. I am often asked about animals such as elephants or cows that consume no meat, yet are huge and healthy. These animals also consume protein and peptides, but the type that can be found in plant based food. Our partners extracted peptides from beetroot, carrots or other vegetables. Peptides, or amino acids, are present everywhere. This is why any side effects are simply impossible, even in theory, as peptides are elements of food. Indeed, if you eat 10 kilograms of strawberries, you might feel sick. The same here: if you eat a kilogram of our bioregulators, you are going to have a protein overload. But this is not a side effect of the product, this is a side effect of one’s recklessness.
