Actovegin
Category: nootropics
Information Sheet
What It Is
Actovegin is a deproteinised calf-blood haemodialysate used to improve cellular glucose/oxygen utilisation; listed among nootropics enhancing brain glucose metabolism.
Mechanism & Notes
- Improves cellular oxygen/glucose uptake and metabolism
- Grouped with meldonium/cerebrolysin/intranasal insulin as glucose-metabolism nootropics
Mentions
when it comes to cognitive enhancement, it should start by enhancing glucose oxidation in the brain, and this should largely be obtained by following Peat's foundation.
but besides that, there are a ton of nootropics that have have enhanced brain glucose metabolism as one of their MOA's
actovegin, meldonium, cerebrolysin, intranasal insulin, mexidol (emoxypine succinate), bromantane/bemethyl come to mind
Compounds: actovegin, meldonium, cerebrolysin, intranasal insulin, mexidol (emoxypine succinate), bromantane/bemethyl
