Overview
Dihexa is a small, potent compound derived from angiotensin IV, researched for its striking ability to promote new synapse formation in the brain. Animal work has looked at it for memory and neurodegenerative models; human data are very limited.
How it’s thought to work
- Enhances hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling tied to synapse growth.
- Promotes formation of new synaptic connections (synaptogenesis).
Researched uses
- Memory and cognition research
- Neurodegeneration models
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | Small (research-scale) |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Varies |
| Route | Oral or transdermal (research) |
| Notes | Extremely potent in animal studies; human dosing is not established. |
Reconstitution
Usually taken orally/transdermally, so injection unit math generally does not apply.
Cautions
- Not approved; minimal human safety data.
- Its strong pro-growth effects on neurons are not fully understood long-term.
- Research chemical status.
