Understanding Brain Injury
When Blood Supply is Cut Off, the Brain Starts Dying
During a stroke, blood flow to part of your brain stops. Within minutes, neurons in that area begin to die from oxygen and glucose deprivation - creating an expanding zone of damage. But here's what most people don't know: the brain's capacity to rewire and repair continues for years.
Damaged neurons can't divide to replace dead ones, but healthy neurons can form new connections (neuroplasticity). New neurons can be born in certain brain regions. And the supporting cells around neurons - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia - can either help or hinder this recovery depending on what signals they receive.
The problem? Your brain needs help. It needs growth factors, anti-inflammatory signals, neuroprotection, and support for the metabolic and vascular systems that make recovery possible.
"The brain's plasticity doesn't stop after a stroke - it's just waiting for the right signals to activate."
This is where peptide therapy becomes powerful. Each peptide sends a different signal to your brain's repair machinery, helping it work harder and smarter to rebuild what the stroke damaged.
