Enhances gene expression related to neuroplasticity and memory

Summary

PE-22-28 is a short neuropeptide with demonstrated effects in cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and mood stabilization. It acts by regulating gene expression and protein synthesis in neurons and has shown positive outcomes in memory, focus, and anxiety models. It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection and has a favorable safety profile in animals.

How it works

  • Enhances gene expression related to neuroplasticity and memory
  • Modulates protein synthesis in hippocampal neurons
  • Stimulates neurotrophin (e.g. BDNF) production in cortical brain regions
  • Protects neurons from oxidative damage and apoptosis

Cycling

  • Recommended cycle: 4–6 weeks of daily use. Can be repeated every 2–3 months with a 2–4 week rest period.

Side effects

common: ["Mild GI discomfort, nausea, headache — all very uncommon (preclinical extrapolation)"]
warnings: ["Theoretical risk of sedation or blunted motivation with overdosing (animal data)"]

Chemistry & PK

sequence: Lys-Gly-Asn
half life: Approximately 6 hours
degradation: Metabolized primarily in liver and neural tissues
molecular weight: 200.25
molecular formula: C10H16N2O3
tissue specificity: Targets hippocampus, cortex, and brain regions related to cognition and neuroinflammation
