Cerebrolysin Scientific Studies Irregularities/fraud?
Hey guys,
I have recently acquired Cerebrolysin and I'm eager to see the effects it potentially has. Although the studies I've read, the breakdowns I've seen, and the anecodotal reports mostly seem positive... I came upon this article that seems to give a rigorous critique on Cerebrolysin. It's well worth a read imo for anyone using it.
Through a twitter thread that breaks down everything that's said.

A few key points that are mentioned:
- The claimed peptides in cerebrolysin apparently can not stay shelf stable for longer than a few days or weeks.
- There's supposedly irregularities in the methods of action of cerebrolysin that the authors of the scientific papers postulate. For example, the supposed peptides in cerebrolysin shouldn't theoretically be able to cross the blood brain barrier.
- Apparently the 'formulation' has changed names over time. At first it was said to contain mainly amino acids, now it's claiming to actually contain neuropeptides.
I'd be happy for anyone to take a look at these claims and share thoughts on them. I'm a neutral observer and curious to get closer to the truth.
To me it seems counterintuitive to assume that Cerebrolysin isn't what it's claimed to be, since it's a compound that's been approved in many countries, has a large body of scientific studies backing up it's claims, and has numerous positive anecdotal reports. But of course, There's been numerous scams throughout history within the pharmaceutical sector, so in that sense everything seems possible.
