Cortagen

Cortagen (Ala‑Glu‑Asp‑Pro) is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator primarily researched for its ability to reshape gene expression in heart and neural tissues, influencing over 100 genes involved in repair, metabolism, and cardiovascular balance.

Key benefits supported by preclinical and animal studies include:

• Accelerated Nerve Regeneration: Stimulates peripheral nerve regrowth by up to 40% and increases the conduction velocity of injured nerve fibers.
• Neuroprotection and Cognitive Support: Enhances synaptic plasticity, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in the CNS, and aids recovery from traumatic brain injury or ischemia.
• Anti-Aging and Gene Reactivation: Loosens tightly packed DNA (heterochromatin) to reactivate age-dormant genes, restore youthful transcription profiles, and delay cellular aging.
• Immune and Cardiovascular Modulation: Stimulates interleukin‑2 expression to balance immune responses and regulates cardiac gene expression to support heart health.
