Cerebrolysin

Cerebrolysin (developmental code name FPF-1070) is a mixture of peptides purified from pig brains, including (and not limited to) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF).[1][2]

While cerebrolysin is used for stroke[3] and vascular dementia, there is insufficient evidence to support this use.[4] It is also sold as a nootropic.

There is some tentative evidence of a beneficial effect on cognitive function in people with vascular dementia,[5] possibly through decreased beta-amyloid deposition.[6] Cerebrolysin is widely used in Russia, Eastern Europe, China, and other post-Soviet and Asian countries.[7]
