Regardless of whether someone uses talk therapy or pharmacology, or a combination of the two to achieve relief from depression, ultimately, any relief they experience is the consequence of neural plasticity (also called neuroplasticity), which is essentially changes in the function of neural circuits in the brain and/or body. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was discovered for its role in promoting the growth, survival, and neuroplasticity of neurons, although it has other roles as well.

When it comes to supporting brain health, Dihexa is one of the most powerful peptides. It’s 10 million times more potent than BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), the gold standard in brain repair molecules. We use it often with patients struggling with cognitive decline, post-concussion symptoms, depression, and developmental conditions. This peptide activates your brain's innate regenerative potential.
