Category:
Cognition / Neuroprotection / Brain Health
Primary Benefits:
Enhances learning, memory, and executive function
Stimulates neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity
Protects against oxidative stress and neuronal inflammation
May support stroke recovery, Alzheimer’s, and brain injury rehab
Mimics brain-derived growth factors like BDNF and NGF
Mechanism of Action:
Cerebrolysin is a peptide complex derived from porcine brain tissue and contains low-molecular-weight neuropeptides that cross the blood-brain barrier. It mimics natural neurotrophic factors like BDNF and NGF, supporting synaptic regeneration, neuron repair, and anti-inflammatory signaling. Its actions span both neuroprotection and neuroregeneration.
Dosing & Protocol:
Intramuscular (IM) or Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection:
• Reconstitution Options:
– 60 mg vial → 3.0 ml bacteriostatic water
– 60 mg vial → 5.0 ml bacteriostatic water
• Daily Dose:
– 3.0 ml bacteriostatic water → 10–50 mg (50–250 units)
– 5.0 ml bacteriostatic water → 10–50 mg (90–450 units)
• Cycle:
5 days per week
4 weeks on, 4 weeks off
Repeat 2–4 cycles annually for cumulative benefit
• Timing:
Take in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before eating.
Potential Side Effects:
Injection site soreness (especially with IM use)
Mild agitation or restlessness in rare cases
Headache or dizziness (transient)
No known major long-term side effects with responsible use
Avoid if allergic to porcine-derived compounds
Common Stacks:
With Semax or Selank: For advanced cognitive synergy
With Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus): For natural Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) enhancement
With Epithalon: For anti-aging and neuroendocrine axis optimization
Notes:
Cerebrolysin is best administered via IM injection to the glute or deltoid. Morning or early afternoon dosing is recommended due to potential energizing effects. Store reconstituted vials in the refrigerator and discard after 30–45 days.
