Cerebrolysin is a unique peptide mixture derived from purified porcine brain proteins. It mimics the action of naturally occurring neurotrophic factors, making it a cornerstone in research related to brain injury and recovery.

Multi-Modal Neuroprotection

Cerebrolysin works through multiple pathways: it reduces oxidative stress, inhibits neuroinflammation, and promotes neuroplasticity. It is one of the few compounds that has shown the ability to stimulate neurogenesis—the creation of new neurons—in research models of cognitive decline and trauma.

Clinical Use

While still investigational in many countries, Cerebrolysin is used clinically in several parts of the world to treat stroke, vascular dementia, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Its ability to provide the brain with the “building blocks” of recovery makes it a high-interest subject for longevity and neuro-regeneration studies.
