Dihexa and Natural Cognitive Enhancers

[AASraw]

Dihexa is a synthetic peptide in cognitive enhancement, and there are some natural cognitive enhancers such as caffeine, L-Theanine, Ginkgo Biloba, and Fish Oil also play a role in cognitive enhancement.

While Dihexa and natural cognitive enhancers have similar goals in terms of cognitive enhancement, they are different in mechanism, effect speed and so on.

Below is a comparison between Dihexa and some common natural cognitive enhancers:

Feature	Dihexa	Natural cognitive enhancers (caffeine, L-theanine, ginkgo biloba)
Mechanism	Increase BDNF and promote neurogenesis	Caffeine: stimulates the central nervous system L-Theanine: increases GABA, serotonin and dopamine levels Ginkgo biloba: enhances cerebral blood flow
Effect Speed	Fast and effective	Acts gradually, usually over a few days to a few weeks
Durability of effect	Great potential	Mild and long-lasting, but not as noticeable as Dihexa.
Safety and Side Effects	Not extensively studied, long-term safety unknown	Generally safe, but overuse may cause side effects
Application	Potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and brain damage	General cognitive support
