Cortexin

FDA: not-FDA-approved

Cortexin is a peptide complex derived from porcine cerebral tissue that acts as a neurotrophic factor. It is widely used in Eastern Europe for neurorehabilitation, supporting synaptic plasticity, antioxidant defense, and cerebral blood flow. Peptide complex extracted from calf/porcine cortex. Acts as a neurotrophic factor, supporting synaptic plasticity, antioxidant defense, and cerebral blood flow. Provides neuroprotection and memory enhancement. Functions similarly to Cerebrolysin but with different extraction and composition. - Neuroprotection and brain repair - Memory enhancement - Stroke recovery and cognitive rehabilitation - Cerebral blood flow improvement - Antioxidant defense in neural tissue - Standard: 10 mg IM daily
