MemoryCognitionNeuroprotectionSynaptogenesis
- Mechanism of action
- Activates the HGF/c-Met receptor, promoting synaptogenesis and dendritic spine formation. Enhances HGF signaling through a mechanism that does not compete with the ligand, being extremely potent at very low doses.
- Reported research ranges
- 1–10 mg orally daily. Cycles of 2–4 weeks with a rest period.
- Reported adverse effects
- Limited long-term safety data. Possible excessive neurogenesis. Use with caution.
- Storage and handling
- Store in a cool, dry place; refrigerate if in solution.
