Research Indications

Neuroprotection
Traumatic Brain Injury most effective

Clinical protocol of 5mg daily showed significant cognitive improvements in 72-patient study.

Direct CNS Delivery effective

Subcutaneous administration allows systemic circulation to brain tissue for neuroprotective effects.

Cellular Protection effective

Caspase-3 suppression, ROS reduction, and excitotoxicity protection.

Cognitive
Memory Enhancement effective

Enhanced neurotransmitter function with 1.9x serotonin increase in cell cultures.

NMDA Receptor Expression effective

100 ng/kg optimal dose improved spatial learning in hippocampus.

Anti-Aging
Cellular Senescence Reduction moderate

Irisin expression increases linked to telomere protection and mitochondrial enhancement.

Biological Age Markers moderate

32-patient study showed significant improvements in aging indicators over 20-30 days.

Dosing Protocols

Highest bioavailability, direct systemic delivery, established clinical protocols.
