Cortagen Research Guide

Full name: Cortagen (Brain Cortex Peptide)

A synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator derived from brain cortex that modulates cerebral cortex function. Part of the Khavinson peptide bioregulator family.

How Cortagen Works

Regulates gene expression in cerebral cortex neurons, modulating neurotransmitter receptor density, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal energy metabolism.

Dosing Protocol

• Typical dose: 10 mg
• Frequency: Daily for 10-15 days
• Duration: 10-15 day cycles, 2-3x/year
• Route: Oral capsule or subcutaneous injection

Reported Benefits

• Cerebral cortex optimization
• Cognitive function improvement
• Memory enhancement
• Neuroprotection

Potential Side Effects

• Mild headache initially
• Drowsiness (rare)
• Vivid dreams
