Cerebrolysin

Overview

Cerebrolysin is made by breaking down proteins from pig brain into small peptides. The mixture behaves like natural neurotrophic factors, the signals that keep nerve cells alive and help them form connections.

It has been studied in many clinical trials on stroke recovery, brain injury and dementia, and is approved in several countries.

Research areas

• Recovery after stroke
• Traumatic brain injury
• Dementia and neurodegeneration
