- The fundamental misconception about cognitive peptides is that they 'boost brain power' as a vague, generalised effect. They don't. Each peptide targets a specific receptor system: Cerebrolysin contains neurotrophic peptides that mimic nerve growth factor (NGF) and BDNF activity. Dihexa binds to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptors to stimulate neurogenesis. The formation of new neurons in the hippocampus. This article covers the peptides with documented CNS penetration, the receptor pathways they modulate, and the dosing protocols backed by Phase II and III trials rather than anecdotal user reports.
