Cognitive / neuro
Cerebrolysin
Approved abroadCerebrolysin · Neurotrophic peptide mixture
Porcine-brain peptide mixture with neurotrophic-like effects.
What it is
A mixture of low-molecular-weight neuropeptides and amino acids from purified pig brain, used abroad for neurological conditions.
How it works
Mimics endogenous neurotrophic factors to promote neuronal survival and plasticity while reducing excitotoxicity.
Studied for
Stroke, traumatic brain injury, vascular dementia, Alzheimer's.
Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved in the US; used abroad.
Safety
Generally well tolerated; dizziness, agitation, injection-site reactions; caution in epilepsy; porcine-derived sourcing matters.

The neuro-repair heavyweight. Cerebrolysin is a neurotrophic peptide mixture and an approved prescription drug for stroke recovery across Europe, Asia and Latin America, with what clinicians call the strongest human data of any peptide for neuroprotection. It's used for stroke, TBI/head trauma and cognitive repair, given IV/IM (~3x weekly) on a demanding schedule, and stacked with the other neuro peptides (Semax, Selank, dihexa).
