How it works
- Dramatically increases BDNF in hippocampus
It sharply raises a brain-growth protein in the region responsible for memory and learning.
- Stimulates serotonin and dopamine synthesis
It boosts production of two brain chemicals tied to mood, focus, and motivation.
- Activates melanocortin receptors
It engages a receptor system involved in brain signaling and stress response.
- Neuroprotective via VEGF upregulation
It helps protect brain cells by increasing a protein that supports blood vessel growth and tissue repair.
