About:
An angiotensin IV analogue studied in rodent cognition research, with no human trials published.
What does this peptide do?
Human evidence is limited or indirect. Research focuses on cognition.
Cognition research
Procognitive effects in rodent models; no human trials published.
Evidence grade
CHighest evidence grade among the graded claims: C. Grades reflect study strength, not benefit.
What are the benefits and side effects of this peptide
What research says it may help with
- Every study we verified for dihexa is preclinical: procognitive and synaptogenic effects of angiotensin IV derived peptides in animal models, with a proposed hepatocyte growth factor mechanism described in reviews.
- No human trial exists in the literature searched, and no safety data in people.
Who should avoid it
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Children and adolescents
- People taking prescription neurological or psychiatric medication, where no interaction data exists
