Myogane Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
Myogane is a patented, orally active, neuroprotective and neuroregenerative compound. It is developed for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease). In pre-clinical models, Myogane has been observed to protect against neuronal damage, increase neurite outgrowth, reverse oxidative damage and reverse neuronal apoptosis in vitro. When administered orally to a transgenic pre-clinical model of ALS, Myogane delays the loss of muscle strength and extends survival time.

How Myogane works
Although the precise molecular pathways that cause the death of motor neurones in ALS remain unknown, possible mechanisms include abnormalities in neurofilament proteins, mitochondrial alterations and glutamate mediated excitotoxicity. In pre-clinical studies, the single chemical Myogane a novel neurotrophic factor inducer, protects against neuronal damage, reverses the decrease of neuronal growth factors and reverses neuronal degeneration observed in motor neurones. Myogane also increases neurite outgrowth, reverses oxidative damage and reverses neuronal apoptosisin vitro. When administered orally to a transgenic pre-clinical model of ALS, Myogane delays the loss of muscle strength and extends survival time.
