Overview
Crosses blood-brain barrier and activates neurotrophic signaling pathways.
Proposed mechanism
Mixture of low-molecular-weight neuropeptides from purified porcine brain mimicking neurotrophic factor activity.
What the evidence supports
Most data comes from preclinical animal studies. Human clinical trial evidence is limited or absent.
Graded Animal
Evidence drawn from in vivo animal models or in vitro systems. Mechanistically informative; translation to humans is unproven.
