Dihexa Research Guide
Full name: Dihexa (N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6)-aminohexanoic amide)
An angiotensin IV analog reported 10 million times more potent than BDNF at enhancing synaptic connectivity. Promotes synaptogenesis and spinogenesis.
How Dihexa Works
Allosteric potentiator of HGF/c-Met signaling driving synaptogenesis, dendritic spine formation, and neuronal survival in hippocampal circuits.
Dosing Protocol

- Frequency: Daily
- Duration: 4-8 weeks
- Route: Oral or Subcutaneous
Reported Benefits
- Dramatic synaptogenesis
- Memory improvement
- Cognitive restoration potential
- Dendritic spine growth
- HGF/c-Met activation
Potential Side Effects
