If Recovery from acute brain ischemia, cytotoxic hypoxia and brain lesions isnt repair, then i dont know what is.
Anyways i dont need repair, i need maintenance and working memory enhancement
Neuroprotection and regeneration/repair are not synonymous. This study was done to see if the damage done could be diminished through protection of cells. If there is less damage through neuroprotection the recovery time is of course shorter or the general ability to recover is better. That does not mean that N-Pep-12 actually increases repair. This might still be the case but as I said there are no studies on that.
Is neurogenesis and neuroplasticity related enough to repair ?
Clinical Research
N-PEP-12 – based on science and clinically tested
In published research studies, the neuropeptides have been shown to replenish age-associated neurochemical deficits, to counteract processes that cause memory problems and to support optimal brain health and function by:
• Supporting new brain cell production (NeuroGenesis)
• Supporting the formation of new brain cell connections (NeuroPlasticity)
• Protecting brain cells and their connections (NeuroProtection)
• Increasing glucose transport and utilization by the brain as well as increasing vitality and energy output of aging brain cells (NeuroMetabolism)
Protected, well-nourished neurons which have a strengthened cell structure and metabolism are the basis of a neural network in the brain that can perform well despite challenging external circumstances such as constant pressure and stress, or the natural aging process.
