Description
Cortexin is a complex of water-soluble polypeptide fractions extracted from the cerebral cortex of young cattle, with molecular weights ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 Daltons. These low-molecular-weight neuropeptides are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and exerting tissue-specific effects on the cerebral cortex. The peptide complex modulates neuronal metabolism, regulates neurotransmitter balance (particularly serotonin, dopamine, and amino acids), and restores bioelectrical activity in the brain. Cortexin is a prescription injectable medicine in Russia and is not sold as a supplement.
⚙️ Mechanism of Action
Regulates the ratio of inhibitory (GABA) and excitatory (glutamate, aspartate) amino acids, normalizes levels of serotonin and dopamine, enhances cerebral metabolism, and restores bioelectrical activity of the brain through direct action on cortical neurons.
