Chitomur
Khavinson natural peptide complex derived from bladder tissue — studied for urinary tract function normalization and detrusor muscle support in aging.
🔬 Mechanism of Action
Chitomur is a Khavinson Cytomax peptide complex derived from bladder tissue, containing organ-specific short peptides that regulate gene expression in detrusor smooth muscle cells and urothelial lining cells.
Chitomur modulates: (1) smooth muscle contractile proteins (alpha-actin, myosin light chain) for maintained detrusor contractility, (2) urothelial barrier proteins (uroplakins, tight junction claudins) that prevent urine from penetrating the bladder wall, and (3) nerve growth factor (NGF) expression — relevant because NGF overexpression is implicated in overactive bladder syndrome.
In geriatric clinical practice, Chitomur is used for age-related urinary incontinence where detrusor weakness, urothelial thinning, or neurogenic changes contribute to symptoms.
