Cortagen
Also known as: Brain Peptide Bioregulator
A tetrapeptide bioregulator for cerebral cortex function.
Overview
Cortagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed to support cerebral cortex function. Part of the Khavinson peptide bioregulator family developed in Russia.
Mechanism of Action
Gene regulatory effects on cortical neurons. May support neurotransmitter balance and neuroplasticity. Proposed epigenetic modulation.
Pharmacokinetics
Small peptide allows oral or sublingual administration. CNS effects suggest BBB penetration.
