Trekrezan for Health & Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet

Trekrezan for Health & Longevity

Created on 10/02/2026 – Quick Reference based on Evidence Review created using AI4L / Opus 5.5 – Audit

Trekrezan, an inexpensive synthetic oral drug sold over the counter in Russia in short courses to raise resistance to stress and support immunity, has light evidence: a single study in young men reported preserved performance during cold exposure, while immune, liver, and antioxidant findings come from animals and cell cultures, mostly from the developer's network. Safety appears benign but thin; its value for longevity remains unknown rather than disproven. (Full Review)

Protocol

Labeled stress and performance course
600 mg day 1, then 200 mg daily for 7 days
Three 200 mg tablets on day 1; after meals; 2,000 mg total
Labeled prevention course
200 mg once daily for 14 days
After a meal; during seasonal respiratory-infection periods; 2,800 mg total
Single pre-exposure dose
One 0.2 g oral dose
Before cold exposure; acute use as a weather and climate adaptation aid rather than a course
Time to effect
Resistance to acute respiratory viral infections
Within days
Labeled courses assume effects within days; labeling calls for medical review if respiratory symptoms have not improved after 3 days
Physical performance under stress
Single dose before exposure
One dose given before cold exposure in the sole indexed human test

Benefits

Contraindications
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women (labeled contraindication)
  • Children under 12 years (labeled contraindication)
  • People with prior hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, or angioedema to trekrezan or its tablet ingredients
  • People with hereditary lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption
  • Organ-transplant recipients on maintenance immunosuppression (theoretical)
  • People with active autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive therapy (theoretical)
  • Immunosuppressants (tacrolimus, cyclosporine, prednisone, methotrexate): Relative contraindication
Key Interactions
  • Clot-reducing drugs (warfarin, apixaban, clopidogrel, aspirin): Caution
  • Glucose-lowering drugs (metformin, insulin, glipizide): Monitor
  • Drugs cleared by glucuronidation (lamotrigine, valproate, mycophenolate): Monitor
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers (ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen): Monitor
  • Antiplatelet supplements (fish oil, Ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, garlic extract): Monitor
  • Immune-stimulating supplements (echinacea, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Panax ginseng, Rhodiola rosea): Monitor
  • Vaccination: Monitor
  • All theoretical; Russian labeling reports no known undesirable drug interactions

Risk & Side Effects

  • Low: Allergic reactions including anaphylaxis
  • Speculative: Carcinogenicity signal from triethanolamine; kidney and liver changes at high exposure; increased bleeding tendency; immune overstimulation in autoimmune disease; liver enzyme induction; blood-glucose effects in diabetes

Monitoring

Marker Target Why
CBC with differential WBC 4.5–7.5 ×10⁹/L; lymphocytes 1.5–3.0 ×10⁹/L Immune and blood-cell effects
Hemoglobin Men 14–16 g/dL; women 13–15 g/dL Anemia-correction claim
ALT and AST ALT <25 U/L (men), <20 U/L (women); AST <25 U/L Liver processes the compound
Creatinine and eGFR eGFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m² Kidneys clear both components
Fasting glucose and HbA1c Glucose 75–90 mg/dL; HbA1c <5.4% Labeled caution in diabetes
hs-CRP <1.0 mg/L Inflammation baseline for immune stimulation

Cadence: Baseline before a first course; typically repeated at the end of the first course (day 8–14), then every 6–12 months for anyone repeating courses several times a year

Qualitative Assessment

  • Number and duration of colds or respiratory infections per season
  • Perceived energy and fatigue during demanding periods
  • Exercise tolerance and recovery after hard sessions
  • Comfort and performance in cold or at altitude
  • Sleep quality during courses
  • Any rash, itching, or swelling
