Cognitive comparison

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.

Nootropic · Neurotrophic
C-Max (Cerebrolysin variant)

Concentrated neuropeptide fraction for cognitive support research.

Mechanism

A concentrated fraction of cerebrolysin containing specific neuropeptide sequences. Research suggests enhanced delivery of neurotrophic factors supporting synaptic maintenance and neurogenesis.

Research areas
  • Post-stroke cognitive recovery
  • Vascular cognitive impairment
  • Traumatic brain injury rehabilitation
Considerations
  • Not FDA-approved in the US; approved in select countries.
  • Requires medical supervision for IV administration.

Nootropic · Synaptogenesis
Dihexa

Angiotensin IV analog researched for synaptogenesis.

Mechanism

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.

Research areas
  • Synaptogenesis and dendritic spine density
  • Alzheimer's and cognitive aging models
  • Memory consolidation in rodents
Considerations
  • No human clinical trial data; theoretical proliferation concerns via HGF/c-Met.
  • Not FDA-approved.
