Cerebrolysin
Cerebrolysin is a brain + mood peptide used in evidence-based, physician-supervised protocols. Use for cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, post-stroke recovery, TBI, or high-performance cognitive optimization.
What is Cerebrolysin?
Neurotrophic peptide complex derived from porcine brain proteins. Contains BDNF, NGF, CNTF, and other growth factors plus neuropeptide fragments. Promotes neurogenesis, neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity. Must be administered IM. Run 10-20 day cycles 2-4x/year.
Uses & clinical decision logic
Use for cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, post-stroke recovery, TBI, or high-performance cognitive optimization. IM delivery essential — SubQ not effective.
