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.

Dosage

5 mL
1x per day
Route
Intramuscular (IM) or IV
Duration
10-20 days

When to take: Best in the morning — alerting effects.

Reconstitution

Vial size (mg): 10 mL ampoule (pre-mixed) · BAC water (mL): none — comes as a solution · Concentration: 215.2 mg/mL

Cerebrolysin comes as a ready solution in sealed ampoules — no reconstitution.

Benefits

  • Improved memory and focus
  • Faster recovery after stroke
  • Slows Alzheimer progression
  • Improved neuroplasticity
  • Potentially longer neuronal lifespan

Side effects

  • Mild warm sensation
  • Rare: injection-site irritation
  • Rare: allergic reaction
  • Generally very well tolerated

Gender notes

Same dose as general protocol.

Cautions

  • Status epilepticus (caution — may lower seizure threshold)
  • Severe renal failure
  • Pregnancy (insufficient data)
