I just want to thank all of you who've been sharing your experience, both with Cerebrolysin itself and with your purchasing adventures.
No TBI here, thankfully, but I worry about the effect of aging of the brain. The thought of injecting that much product IM is kind of scary. I may start out with just one of the components (P21) that has some of the benefits of Cerebrolysin with less of the hassle.
I found a list of constituents on the Peptide Society site.

quoted said:Cerebrolysin Constituents :
P21 appears to be the only thing that is obtainable in the grey.quoted said:Nerve Growth Factor: An important protein for development and maintenance of neurons, specifically neurons involved in pain, temperature and touch sensation. Nerve growth factor functions by binding to either the NTRK1 receptor or the p75NTR receptor which are both found on the surface of sensory neurons.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF): Protein found in the brain and spinal cord that is responsible for growth, maturation and maintenance of neurons. In the brain, BDNF is active in the synapse and is important in regulating synaptic plasticity.
Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF): A brain derived protein that promotes neuron survival and axonal outgrowth during neuronal development.
Enkephalins: Functions as a ligand for the kappa-type opioid receptor. Competes with and mimics effects of opiate drugs and therefore plays a role in pain perception and response to stress.
Orexin: Functions as a ligand which binds to orphan G-protein coupled receptors that play a role in regulation of sleep and arousal as well as feeding behavior, metabolism and homeostasis.
P21: The pentamer Ac-DGGLAG-NH2 is a peptide fragment of Cerebrolysin that has been found to play a role in neurogenesis and neuronal plasticity.
