would you trust chinese cerebroslyn?

[BamaCrazy]

The recommended dosages of Cortexin and Cerebrolysin don't match up though.
I can only find a dose of 10mg of Cortexin ed for repairing brain trauma from physical injury. That would mean 5-10 Grams(!) of Cerebrolysin to match that dose.

Am I missing something?

From what I’ve read I don’t think you are. They are injecting 10-50mL of Cerobrolysin daily depending on illness. Every protocol I’ve found has you injecting a ton of that drug daily. It’s surprising considering Cortexin and Cerobrolysin are both derived from animal brains. But much lower doses of Cortexin have the same/similar therapeutic effects as the other.

Ok. So then a Chinese 10*60mg kit sold for $50 would be entirely useless, because MUCH higher doses are likely needed.
Meaning Cortexin is actually the only affordable path to get the desired outcom. Also considering you will realistically NOT inject 10-50ml ed of Cerebrolysin, without going the IV route.

Am I missing something this time?

You got it. I ordered one 10mg kit of Cortexin. And two of the below kits of Cerobrolysin. I paid $100 for the Cortexin in June but it has since increased to $150. I paid $300 for the Cerobrolysin. The Cortexin will last 50 days. The Cerobrolysin maybe a week. lol

Ok, thanks for the clarification then. I had missed that your post from yesterday had pretty much answered my questions regarding dosing of Cerebrolysin, sorry.
What is your reasoning for 2mg of Cortexin ed, if 10mg ed are used for traumatic brain injury?

Correction, of course I meant:
...you will realistically NOT inject 10-50ml ed...

For our purposes I’m referring back the below study where they looked at 1-3mg a day. I am looking for the neuroprotective properties, enhancing cognitive functions such as memory and attention. Not so much treating neurological disorders.

Neuroprotective action of Cortexin, Cerebrolysin and Actovegin in acute or chronic brain ischemia in rats - PMC

This study was the first to compare the neuroprotective activity of Cerebrolysin®, Actovegin® and Cortexin® in rodent models of acute and chronic brain ischemia. The neuroprotective action was evaluated in animals with acute (middle cerebral artery ...

How did you derive those 2mg, which I assume is the average of 1mg or 3mg from that? The study says:

Thus, Cortexin, 1 or 3 mg/kg ... were effective in models acute and chronic brain ischemia in rats

HED is 0.16mg/kg (at 1mg), so aren't we then talking 16-48mg for a 100kg male?

Ok. I see what you are saying now. That changes things. A kit would only last 2 days at 50mg doses.

Let's take your middle ground of the 2mg, and make it 30mg then. That would make it last 3 days.
I knew there is a catch, when you wrote how cheap a pharma-cycle actually would be at 2mg. Sigh!

At these apparent real world dosages, both Cerebrolysin and Cortexin aren't presenting themselves to be decently affordable...
I guess the only hope would be a Chinese generic of Cortexin, priced at a fraction of its pharma price.

 

[just some dude]

isn’t cereprotein just cerebrolysin?

Not according to 10 second AI search I did in regards to this question.

Given that people report success at lower doses of Cerebrolysin, maybe you can get away with single digit mg doses? I just doubt it, based on my limited reading about Cortexin.
Feel free to convince me otherwise though, I'd be happy to not have to give up on this compound, or Cerebrolysin for that matter.

Why? This is easily doable.

Would P21 also be a viable alternative to Cerebrolysin? Cheaper and SubQ.
