THE ADRENAL SUPPORTER
Cortagen
Brain and heart bioregulator for nerve repair and stress resilience
Also known as: Peptide Complex AEDP
Overview
Cortagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) that supports both brain and heart health. It works by entering neurons and heart cells to modify gene expression, promoting repair and stress resistance. It's studied for traumatic brain injury, nerve regeneration, and cardiac protection after stress.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
Epigenetic Regulation
Opens chromatin for transcription of repair genes
Neurotrophin Boost
Increases BDNF and NGF for nerve growth and repair
Cardiac Protection
Activates stress-resistance genes in heart tissue
Antioxidant
Upregulates Nrf2 pathway for cellular protection
