Cortexin is used to correct impaired molecular and cellular processes, and according to the manufacturer, can be applied for the following conditions: cerebral circulation disorders; encephalopathy of various genesis; acute and chronic encephalitis and encephalomyelitis; epilepsy; traumatic brain injury and its consequences; asthenia; infantile cerebral palsy; psychomotor and speech retardation in children; cognitive disorders (dysfunction of memory and ideation); reduced learning ability. More detailed information about the studies on the application can be found in the Research tab. What are the Benefits and Effects of Cortexin? Cortexin has the following effects: Nootropic effect It improves higher cerebral functions, processes of learning and memory, concentration, attention, and tolerance to mental and physical stress. Neuroprotective effect It protects neurons against different endogenous neurotoxic factors (glutamate, calcium ions, and free radicals) and reduces the toxic impact of psychotropic agents. Antioxidant effect It inhibits lipid peroxidation and increases the survival of neurons under oxidative stress and hypoxia. Tissue-specific effect It activates the metabolism of neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system as well as reparative processes; also, it promotes stimulation of cortical function and general improvement of the nervous system. Is Cortexin Safe to Take? Cortexin is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women due to the lack of data and people with individual intolerance. FAQ: What is Cortexin Composition?
