Both are discussed for cognition & mood. What this site records about each, side by side. Every figure is on the compound's own page with the source it came from.
| Bromantane | Dihexa | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A Russian anti-asthenic drug, and a documented doping agent. It produced a positive test at the 1996 Olympics and is prohibited by WADA. | A small peptide reported as vastly more potent than BDNF at forming new synapses in animals. No human has been studied on it, and the potency is the concern, not the selling point. |
| EvidenceHow much human evidence exists, not how well it works. | Approved for another indication | Preclinical |
| Regulatory statusReviewed 2026-08-18 | Registered in Russia as Ladasten for asthenic conditions. Not approved in the United States or the European Union, and prohibited in sport by the World Anti-Doping Agency following positive tests at the 1996 Olympics. | Not approved anywhere, and never studied in a published human trial. Developed in academic research with an associated patent; no clinical development programme has reported results. Sold only as a research chemical. |

This page is educational. It describes what published research reports, not what you should do. Peptides discussed here are largely not approved for human use, and nothing on BioAlmanac is medical advice. Nothing here ranks these two against each other. A table can show that one has more human evidence behind it or costs less per milligram; neither of those is a recommendation, and the right comparison for any person is one their doctor makes with them.
