Sigumir
Research OnlyAlso known as: Cartilage cytamin, Joint peptides, A-6 cartilage peptides
A cytamin-class peptide supplement derived from cartilage tissue, part of the Russian bioregulator framework. Marketed as an oral supplement for joint and cartilage support. Contains peptide complexes rather than defined sequences. No Western clinical validation.
Research Statistics
Russian bioregulator (Khavinson lab); all research from Russian rheumatology and orthopedic institutes. No independent Western clinical trials. Cartilage bioregulation mechanism is proposed but lacks Western mechanistic validation.

Overview
What is Sigumir and what does the research say?
Mechanism of Action
Sigumir is a cytamin-class supplement containing peptide complexes derived from cartilage tissue.
Proposed Mechanisms
- Chondrocyte Support - Claimed to support cartilage cell function
- Matrix Integrity - Proposed effects on cartilage extracellular matrix
- Joint Health - Marketed for joint comfort and mobility
Important Limitations
- NOT a defined peptide - contains complex mixture
- Oral peptide bioavailability is generally very low
- No Western clinical validation
- No randomized controlled trials for joint outcomes
- NOT a treatment for arthritis or joint disorders
- Not approved by any Western regulatory agency

Peptide Interactions
Known and theoretical interactions when combining Sigumir with other peptides. Based on published research and mechanistic considerations.
BPC-157
CompatibleBoth target tissue repair - BPC-157 has more preclinical research on connective tissue healing, Sigumir is cytamin supplement for cartilage.
TB-500
CompatibleBoth target tissue repair - TB-500 has broader tissue healing effects, Sigumir specifically targets cartilage.

Cartalax
AED peptide, Ala-Glu-Asp, cartilage bioregulator
A synthetic tripeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp) from Vladimir Khavinson's bioregulator framework, proposed to support cartilage tissue repair and chondrocyte function. All research originates from Russian institutes with no independent Western validation or controlled human clinical trials.
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide GHK, Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine:Copper
A naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide with wound healing and skin regeneration properties. Extensively studied globally with moderate-to-high evidence for cosmetic applications.
GHK
Glycyl-Histidyl-Lysine, GHK tripeptide, Liver cell growth factor
A naturally occurring tripeptide (Gly-His-Lys) with copper-binding affinity and wound healing properties. The base form of GHK without added copper. Endogenous to human plasma where it circulates bound to copper. Declines with age. Most research focuses on the copper-complexed form (GHK-Cu), making evidence for GHK alone limited. Primarily relevant as the precursor to GHK-Cu.
