Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) moleculeLow-Dose NaltrexoneAn approved drug at an unapproved dose, with real small trials. SPMs moleculeSPMsResolution is active, not passive — the biology behind it. TUDCA moleculeTUDCABile acid chaperone — and a cautionary ALS story. Oxytocin moleculeOxytocinApproved for obstetrics; intranasal claims are another matter. Cerebrolysin moleculeCerebrolysinWidely used abroad; systematic reviews are unconvinced. Noopept moleculeNoopeptA foreign prescription drug sold here as a supplement. Dihexa moleculeDihexaStartling animal potency — and an oncogenic pathway. N-Acetyl Semax and Selank Amidate moleculeN-Acetyl Semax & Selank AmidateStabilized variants — and why the parent data doesn't transfer. Humanin moleculeHumaninA peptide encoded by mitochondrial DNA, not the nucleus. PE-22-28 moleculePE-22-28A rapid-antidepressant candidate, preclinical only.
