C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant) vs Dihexa
An educational, source-based comparison of C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant) and Dihexa — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
Concentrated neuropeptide fraction for cognitive support research.
A concentrated fraction of cerebrolysin containing specific neuropeptide sequences. Research suggests enhanced delivery of neurotrophic factors supporting synaptic maintenance and neurogenesis.
- Post-stroke cognitive recovery
- Vascular cognitive impairment
- Traumatic brain injury rehabilitation
- • Not FDA-approved in the US; approved in select countries.
- • Requires medical supervision for IV administration.
A hexapeptide derived from angiotensin IV that crosses the blood-brain barrier and potentiates hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) / c-Met signaling, associated with new synapse formation in preclinical models.
- Synaptogenesis and dendritic spine density
- Alzheimer's and cognitive aging models
- Memory consolidation in rodents
- • No human clinical trial data; theoretical proliferation concerns via HGF/c-Met.
- • Not FDA-approved.
C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant) vs Dihexa — Key differences
- Class: C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant) is classified as Nootropic · Neurotrophic, while Dihexa is Nootropic · Synaptogenesis.
- Primary research focus: C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant) — post-stroke cognitive recovery; Dihexa — synaptogenesis and dendritic spine density.
