Cortagen for Recovery
Khavinson tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) marketed for cortical/CNS support.
Why Cortagen for recovery?
Cortagen is one of the Khavinson short peptides (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro), claimed to be a 'cerebrocortex-tropic' peptide bioregulator. Russian publications report cognitive and neuroprotective effects after stroke; Western peer-reviewed replication is sparse. Treat efficacy claims with caution outside the original publishing group.
Recovery context: Accelerating soft-tissue, tendon, gut, and post-training repair. Cortagen fits this goal because its category (Cognitive) and benefit profile align with the underlying mechanism.
