Cerluten
Khavinson natural peptide complex derived from brain tissue — used for age-related cognitive decline support, neuroprotection, and CNS function normalization.
🔬 Mechanism of Action
Cerluten is a Khavinson Cytomax peptide complex derived from brain tissue. It contains multiple neuroactive short peptides that collectively regulate gene expression in cortical neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.
Cerluten's multi-peptide composition modulates: (1) neurotrophic factor production (BDNF, GDNF) for neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity, (2) neurotransmitter synthesis enzymes including tyrosine hydroxylase (dopamine), tryptophan hydroxylase (serotonin), and choline acetyltransferase (acetylcholine), (3) myelin basic protein expression for maintained signal conduction, and (4) glutathione S-transferase for neuroprotective antioxidant defense.
Cerluten is the Cytomax form of synthetic Cortagen (AEDP). It is used in Khavinson protocols for age-related cognitive decline, chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency, and post-stroke rehabilitation.
