CORTAGEN 10MG + BAC WATER
CORTAGEN HAS NEUROREGENERATIVE AND GEROPROTECTIVE EFFECTS THANKS TO:
- Regulating gene expression – restoring normal nerve cell activity and inhibiting degenerative processes.
- Stimulating neurogenesis and synaptogenesis – supporting the development of new neurons and neural connections.
- Protecting DNA and stabilizing chromatin – acting at the epigenetic level, restoring cells to a "younger" gene expression profile.
- Increasing neuronal resistance to oxidative stress – protecting against free radicals and inflammation.
- Improving intercellular communication – supporting nerve conduction and cognitive function.
💡 Effect: regeneration and protection of the nervous system, support of cognitive functions, better concentration and slowing down of neurodegenerative processes.

BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND EFFECTS
CORTAGEN and the regeneration of the nervous system
Research conducted at the Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology has shown that CORTAGEN accelerates peripheral nerve regeneration, increasing the rate of recovery by up to 30–40%. The peptide supports neuronal regeneration after injury and improves nerve conduction by acting directly on the level of gene expression in nerve cells.
CORTAGEN and epigenetics and cellular aging
CORTAGEN influences chromatin structure, enabling the activation of genes responsible for cell regeneration and inhibiting apoptosis. In vitro studies have shown that the peptide restores a "younger" DNA expression profile in aging cells, making it one of the most biologically advanced geroprotective peptides.

As shown in the above study (circles), Cortagen peptide gave rise to clones with altered expression (Dst, dystonin; Ampd3, H-type AMP deaminase), demonstrating its potential myocardial protective effect compared to the control.
CORTAGEN and oxidative stress and inflammation
The peptide exhibits potent antioxidant properties, reducing lipid peroxidation products and increasing the activity of protective enzymes such as SOD and catalase. It helps restore balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways in the nervous system, supporting natural cellular homeostasis.
CORTAGEN and cognitive functions and mood
In animal models and clinical observations, CORTAGEN improved memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities, and also demonstrated mood-stabilizing effects. Its neurotrophic effect promotes better information processing and increases the nervous system's resistance to emotional overload and stress.
