⚙️ Primary Mechanism of Action

High-affinity binder to Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), potentiating its dimerization and activating the c-Met receptor kinase, which drives massive new dendritic arborization and synaptic spine creation.

💉 Research Dosage & Reconstitution Standard

Requires pharmaceutical-grade 0.9% benzyl alcohol Bacteriostatic Water to inhibit bacterial replication for multi-dose access.

Standard Vial Sizes
Capsules 10mg / Powder 500mg
Target Research Dose
5mg to 15mg orally / sublingually 1 - 2 times per week (or 10mg-20mg transdermally)
Administration Frequency
1 - 2 times weekly (NOT daily, due to profound persistent synaptic plasticity)
💧 Dilution Standard: Reconstitute with sterile Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (USP). Aim stream gently along the vial glass wall to avoid foaming. Store reconstituted solution at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) protected from light. Discard multi-dose punctured vials at 28 days pursuant to USP <797> standards. Never freeze reconstituted liquid.

⚠️ Contraindications & Documented Adverse Effects

Strict Contraindications

  • Strictly contraindicated with any history or suspicion of oncological disease (c-Met activation).

Documented Side Effects

  • Brain fog / overstimulation if over-dosed
  • Irritability
  • Theoretical concern for accelerating existing undiagnosed tumors (due to potent c-Met pathway activation)
