What studies have looked at

Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.

  • In animals or the lab

    In rats, bromantane changed tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine levels in several brain areas. In rat hippocampal slices it turned short-term potentiation of nerve signalling into a longer-lasting form.

  • In animals or the lab

    In the rat brain, bromantane first increased dopamine release; later rises in L-DOPA and dopamine tracked higher activity of the genes for two enzymes that make dopamine.

  • In humans

    In people with neurasthenia, both bromantane and placebo were rated as more effective by those with reduced EEG alpha activity than by those with a prominent alpha rhythm. The Russian-language abstract gives no patient numbers.

How to track it in Peptimes

Add bromantane in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Approved outside the US”. In the US it is not FDA-approved.

  • Logging: the amount you took and how you feel. It’s logged as oral, so there’s no injection site to record.
  • Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.

Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell bromantane or any other compound.
