The brain makes up only about 2% of body weight but consumes about 20% of the body's total energy. With age, brain activity naturally slows down: memory weakens, concentration decreases and information processing slows. Peptide bioregulators are food supplements intended to help maintain normal brain and nervous system function. Brain research and neuroscience ## Contents 1. Why is brain health a priority? 2.

Sources ## Why is brain health a priority? The brain makes up only about 2% of body weight but consumes about 20% of the body's total energy. Nervous system cells (neurons) are among the most complex and sensitive cells in the body. With age: 2% of body weight 20% of the body's total energy The number of neurons and their interconnections (synapses) decreases Neurotransmitter production slows Cerebral blood flow decreases Oxidative stress in nerve tissue increases Neuroplasticity weakens – the brain's ability to adapt and learn Brain peptides have been studied in Professor Vladimir Khavinson's laboratory for several decades. These food supplements are intended to help maintain normal cognitive function. ## Brain peptide: Cerluten [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) is a natural peptide bioregulator (cytomax) derived from animal brain tissues. It is one of the most popular and best-studied nervous system peptide preparations. ### How Cerluten works: **Nerve cells** helps maintain normal nerve cell function **Neuronal connections** contributes to maintaining normal connections between neurons **Neurotransmitters** helps maintain normal levels of neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine) **Cerebral blood flow** contributes to normal brain microcirculation **Cognitive function** supports memory, attention and thinking abilities In clinical studies conducted with older people (aged 60-80), [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) was examined for its effect on memory and attention scores.

Its name derives from pinealocytes (epiphysis cells), with which this peptide also interacts. ### Pinealon properties: - Helps maintain normal central nervous system activity - Helps maintain a normal sleep-wake cycle - Supports cognitive function - Contributes to maintaining normal nerve tissue cell function - Suitable for vegetarians (synthetic origin) [Pinealon Synthetic tripeptide (cytogen) View product](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) ## Who are brain peptides intended for? ### Older adults (50+ years) With age, the natural production of brain peptides decreases. [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) and [Pinealon](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) are intended to help maintain normal cognitive function: - Support memory clarity - Help maintain quick reactions - Help maintain mental clarity - Help maintain independence and quality of life ### Knowledge workers For people whose work requires intensive mental activity – programmers, analysts, executives, scientists: - Help maintain concentration during longer periods of work - Help maintain normal information processing - Support creativity and problem-solving abilities - Help maintain mental performance during periods of intense workload ### Students During intensive study periods (exam sessions): - Help maintain normal memory while studying - Help maintain attention and concentration - Help maintain cognitive function during demanding periods [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) [Pinealon](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) [Ventfort](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/ventfort-60-kapsuliu) Peptides support brain and nervous system health ## Recommended programmes for brain health ### Basic course: - 1[Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) – 30-day course, 2 capsules per day - 2Break of 3 months - 3[Pinealon](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) - 30-day maintenance course - 4Repeat 2 times per year ### Intensive programme (for more intensive support): - 1[Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) + [Ventfort](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/ventfort-60-kapsuliu) – 30 days (brain + blood vessels – helps maintain normal cerebral blood flow) - 2Break of 1-2 months - 3[Pinealon](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/pinealon-60-kapsuliu) + [Vesugen](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/vezugen-60-kapsuliu) - 30-day maintenance course - 4Repeat 3 times per year ### Comprehensive programme with additional measures: Brain peptides can be combined with other bioregulators for comprehensive support: brain + immunity [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) + [Vladonix](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/vladoniks-60-kapsuliu) – brain + immunity (stress weakens both systems) brain + heart [Cerluten](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/cerluten-60-kapsuliu) + [Chelohart](https://www.gavau.lt/en/products/celohart-60-kapsuliu) – brain + heart (combined support for cardiovascular and brain function) ## Additional tips for brain health Peptide bioregulators work best alongside a healthy lifestyle: ### Physical activity regular aerobic exercise increases cerebral blood flow and promotes the growth of new neurons ### Sleep hygiene 7-9 hours of quality sleep are essential for brain regeneration ### Mental activity reading, puzzles and learning new skills strengthen neuronal connections ### Omega-3 fatty acids an important structural material for the brain ### Stress management chronic stress directly damages brain cells ### Social connections social activity is important for brain function and well-being Brain health is an investment in a quality, fulfilling life.
