About

One of the most-studied nootropics — a mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and amino acids derived from porcine brain. Widely used in Europe and Asia for Alzheimer's, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.

Mechanism

Neurotrophic, neuroprotective, and neurogenerative effects — mimics BDNF and NGF, increases synaptic plasticity.
