Cortagen Peptide Therapy

Cortagen is a synthetic peptide studied for its neuroprotective and regenerative properties. It has attracted interest in the fields of neuroscience and anti-ageing for its potential to protect brain cells, improve cognitive performance, and support tissue healing. At The Catalyst Clinic, we provide expert consultation and medically supervised peptide therapy, including Cortagen.

What is Cortagen?

Cortagen belongs to a class of short peptides designed to mimic natural processes in the body.

  • Derived from ACTH/MSH-like peptides, which influence cell repair and regeneration.

  • Investigated for its ability to protect neurons, support learning and memory, and accelerate tissue recovery.

  • Considered a potential therapeutic tool for both neurodegenerative conditions and age-related decline.

Benefits of Cortagen

Research suggests Cortagen may:

  • • Protect brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation
  • • Enhance cognitive function – supporting memory, focus and learning ability
  • • Promote tissue repair and recovery from injury or surgery
  • • Support anti-ageing by slowing cellular decline in the brain and body
  • • Improve neural communication (synaptic plasticity), vital for healthy cognition

How Cortagen Works

Cortagen acts on neuropeptide signalling pathways, helping regulate cellular function and repair.

  • • Neuroprotection – reduces oxidative stress and damage to brain cells
  • • Anti-inflammatory action – modulates inflammation that contributes to neurodegeneration
  • • Neurotrophic support – promotes growth factors that help neurons survive and thrive
  • • Cellular regeneration – encourages repair and recovery of damaged tissues

Potential Therapeutic Applications

Although still under research, Cortagen is being studied for:

  • • Neurodegenerative conditions – including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and age-related cognitive decline
  • • Cognitive enhancement – as a nootropic for memory, focus, and learning
  • • Tissue healing – speeding up recovery from surgery or injury
  • • Anti-ageing support – protecting against neural and tissue degeneration

Note: Cortagen remains experimental and is not currently approved as a licensed medical therapy.

Safety and Side Effects

Human studies are limited, but Cortagen is generally considered well tolerated. Potential risks include:

  • • Mild injection site reactions
  • • Unknown long-term safety profile
  • • Possible interactions with other medications (still under study)

At The Catalyst Clinic, peptide therapies are only prescribed after careful assessment and under ongoing medical supervision.
