THE ADRENAL SUPPORTER
Peptide Complex AEDP
Cortagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) that supports both brain and heart health. It works by entering neurons and heart cells to modify gene expression, promoting repair and stress resistance. It's studied for traumatic brain injury, nerve regeneration, and cardiac protection after stress.
