Dihexa
Research PeptideAlso known as: N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide
What is Dihexa?
Dihexa is a highly potent cognitive-enhancing peptide derived from angiotensin IV with reported effects millions of times stronger than BDNF.
How It Works
Dihexa activates hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) pathways, promoting synaptogenesis and potentially enhancing memory and cognition.
What Research Shows
Key Findings:
- Restores cognitive function in animal models
- Promotes new synapse formation
- Active orally (unlike most peptides)
Limited Human Research
Most research on Dihexa has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
Dosing Protocol
These are general guidelines based on research literature and community protocols. Individual dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.
Safety & Risks
Reported Side Effects:
Contraindications:
- Active cancer (HGF activation)
- Pregnancy
Important: This information is for research purposes only. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before using any peptide. Never use peptides without proper medical supervision.
Sourcing & Quality
Quality varies significantly between peptide sources. When sourcing Dihexa, consider:
- Third-party testing (HPLC, Mass Spectrometry)
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) availability
- Purity levels (>98% recommended)
- Beware of LPS (endotoxin) contamination
