Cerebrolysin- Summary
- Prostamax is a tetrapeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the prostate gland. It supports prostate epithelial cell function, promotes normalization of prostate tissue, and is studied for its potential in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate anti-aging. It is one of the more widely used Khavinson bioregulators among men over 40.
- Cerebrolysin is a porcine brain-derived neuropeptide complex that mimics the action of endogenous neurotrophic factors (BDNF, NGF, GDNF, NT-3). It promotes neurogenesis, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity, and is approved in many countries for stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer's disease.
