Dihexa Peptide

Meaning

Dihexa is a synthetic, orally active peptide analog derived from angiotensin IV, an active metabolite of the hormone angiotensin II, which is part of the renin-angiotensin system. Clinically, it is being investigated as a potential cognitive enhancer, or nootropic, due to its potent neurotrophic properties. The molecule is noted for its exceptional ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and stimulate synaptic plasticity and the formation of new neuronal connections. While still largely in the research phase, its mechanism of action offers a compelling avenue for addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurological health.
