Portfolio Coverage
Seven trade-named compounds. Seven coverage areas. One category.
Atumnus Life Sciences holds a portfolio of trade-named, patent-pending peptide-class bioregulator compounds covering the principal regulatory axes of human physiology — from cellular longevity and immune resilience to vascular, neural, dermal, and reproductive regeneration. Every compound is independently formulated under the Opticeutical Standard.
Immunoregenic
Thymogenix™
Thymic restoration · T-cell competence
The thymic axis. Immune-restoration bioregulator at the thymic-output interface.
Applications
Immune Resilience · Recovery · Senescence
Immunoregenic
Lymphogenix™
Lymphoid · Mucosal immunity
The mucosal axis. Lymphoid-supportive bioregulator at the mucosal-immunity interface.
Applications
Mucosal · GI · Respiratory
Neuroregenic
Cortigenix™
Cognition · Neuroprotection
The cognitive axis. Neuro-supportive bioregulator at the cortical and hippocampal interface.
Applications
Cognitive · Neuroprotective · Performance
Vasoregenic
Vasogenix™
Endothelial · Anti-atherogenic
The vascular axis. Endothelial-supportive bioregulator at the vascular-integrity interface.
Applications
Cardiovascular · Recovery · Longevity
Dermoregenic
Dermogenix™
Skin · Wound · ECM remodeling
The dermal axis. Connective-tissue-supportive bioregulator at the collagen and ECM-remodeling interface.
Applications
Skin · Wound Healing · Connective Tissue · Oral / Dental
Genoregenic
Gonadogenix™
Reproductive · Endocrine · Longevity
The reproductive axis. Gonadal-supportive bioregulator at the endocrine-longevity interface.
Applications
Reproductive · Endocrine · Longevity
Stack class
Multiregenic™
Multi-organ-axis combinations
Combinations of two or more bioregulators in a single formulation, addressing multi-axis interventions where individual compounds alone would underdeliver against the application requirement.
Multi-axis stack formulations are the architectural advantage the bioregulator class provides: an intervention that operates across multiple regulatory systems simultaneously, rather than a single-target compound asking one system to compensate for deficits across all the others.
Coverage at a Glance
Seven coverage areas. Mapped to the portfolio.
| Coverage area | Anchored by |

| Cardiovascular & Vascular | Vasogenix™ |
| Skin, Dermal & Connective Tissue | Dermogenix™ |
| Reproductive & Endocrine | Gonadogenix™ |
| Oral, Dental & Mucosal | Dermogenix · Lymphogenix™ |

- Formulated under the Opticeutical Standard
- Cross-system intervention architecture
The Evolution
Four stages. The fourth has a name.
Stage 01
Food
Whole-source nutrition. The original input.
Stage 02
Vitamins
Isolated micronutrients. Targeted deficiency correction.
Stage 03
Nutraceuticals
Optimized vitamins. Functional, evidence-oriented formulation.
Stage 04
Opticeuticals
Optimized nutraceuticals. Bioregulator-grounded, standard-qualified.
The Arc
Five decades of research. Two decades of curation. One category.
The Opticeutical category is not a product launch. It is the institutional naming of a discipline that has been operating, in parts, for over fifty years. The arc from foundational research through founder curation through public category authority.
- 1971Founding research
The bioregulator research lineage begins.
The St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and collaborating Eastern European institutions begin the multi-decade investigation of short-chain regulatory peptides that becomes the foundational science of the category.

Working Definition
An Opticeutical is an optimized nutraceutical — a product meeting a defined standard for peptide-class bioregulator formulation, sourcing integrity, evidence orientation, and cGMP manufacturing discipline.
The category sits within the food and supplement regulatory framework. It is distinguished from conventional nutraceuticals by the standard a product must meet, not by regulatory class.
Reference Anchors
Anchored in published science and established standards.
800+
Peer-reviewed publications.
The Eastern European bioregulator research lineage, across four decades and multiple institutional laboratories.
1994
DSHEA framework.
The Opticeutical category sits within the established food and supplement regulatory framework. No new regulatory class.
2023
Hallmarks of Aging.
The Cell 2023 update places bioregulator mechanisms at the intersection of epigenetic alteration, intercellular communication, and the glycation-driven protein damage axis.
ISO 17025
Per-batch verification.
Every batch verified by accredited third-party laboratories. Identity, potency, and contaminant load on every production run.
