Peptides for brain health / dementia

[Bsqueezin]

There are a lot more smart people than me in these forums and I am curious your thoughts on the best peptides for brain health / dementia prevention?

My family is extremely prone to dementia to the point where if you're a male, you are at a 100% chance of getting it later in life. I would love any idea on any peptides that you fine people may know that could help with brain function and/or help prevent dementia. I know there won't be anything that 100% blocks it, but anything that can help slow it down when I get to my older age would be awesome.

One tablespoon of dried blackcurrants per day provides the amount used in the study.

This might be a good place to start:

My Limitless Stack - Nootropics

I have to admit, I’m only mildly interested in GLP-1s, and I know this forum is primarily dedicated to them. To be fair, I was on Reta for six months and also briefly tried Cagri, but my main area of interest is performance enhancement, particularly nootropics. These are the compounds I’m...

Cerebrolysin is the one I keep hearing about. I did find one source for that. I have not tried it myself.

That being said, I do use a peptide to try to increase BDNF and dampen down the stress I have to endure from my high stress job. That peptide is Semax and it does work, for me. It is also supposed to be neuroprotective, as is Selank, which I also use.

Those are the main 3 that I know about.

Not peptides, but preventatives I use:
Omega 3 (fish oil) - get your Omega 3 index tested and maintain it at least 8%, 12% is better
Lithium - low dose OTC supplement
MCT oil - good coffee creamer. The ketones it creates are an alternative brain fuel
Get your APOE4 gene status tested.
And of course, keep your weight down and your HbA1c low. Reta and/or Tirz

I have a family history of dementia, nearly 100%, but all my grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles made it to 85 or later before it showed up. In my family, at least so far, we all live long lives but spend the last 2-5 years out of our friggin minds.

Start with the basics. Have you done baseline bloods?

Without seeing these a good starting point, IMO, would be to microdose Tirz to heal and keep healthy your metabolism.
