- P21
- BDNF upregulation, neuroprotection
- Serotonergic neuron resilience, mood stability
- Preclinical models, limited human data
- Strong mechanism for luteal-phase mood symptoms; clinical trials needed
- Cerebrolysin
- Neurotrophic factor cocktail, synaptic plasticity
- Hippocampal BDNF, cognitive-emotional regulation
- Multiple RCTs in neurological contexts
- Established safety profile; mood benefits secondary to neuroprotection
- Thymalin
- Immune-endocrine modulation, HPA-axis regulation
- Cortisol reactivity, inflammatory cytokine dampening
- Clinical data from Russian trials
- Unique approach to stress-amplified PMS; thymic aging matters
- KPV
- NF-kB inhibition, anti-inflammatory signaling
- Prostaglandin-driven pain, systemic inflammation
- In vitro + animal models; human trials sparse
- Most direct anti-inflammatory mechanism; pain reduction primary
- MK-677
- Ghrelin mimetic, growth hormone secretagogue
- Metabolic resilience, sleep quality, inflammation
- Extensive human data in other contexts
- Indirect benefits via improved sleep and metabolic stability
