Description
Dihexa capsules from LA Peptides hold 10mg of Dihexa per capsule, with 60 capsules to a bottle. Each capsule is pre-measured, so there’s nothing to reconstitute or weigh. Sold for laboratory research only.
What’s in Dihexa capsules?
Dihexa is an angiotensin IV-derived compound from Washington State University. It boosts hepatocyte growth factor signaling, and rat studies looked at learning, memory and new synapse formation.
It works by boosting the activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) at its receptor, c-Met. HGF signaling is linked to the growth of new connections between nerve cells.
Dihexa was designed to be orally active, which is unusual for a peptide-like compound. That makes the capsule a natural format for it, and the Washington State studies included oral dosing in rats.

Why choose capsules?
Capsules make dosing in an oral model simple. Every capsule holds the same labeled amount, so there’s no measuring, no solvent and nothing to refrigerate after mixing. They also travel well.
Most peptides are broken down in the gut, and absorption varies a lot from compound to compound. Comparing a capsule against a vial is a common study design for exactly that reason.
Other formats of the same compound: Semax/Selank/Dihexa Nasal Spray (10mg each in a 10ml nasal spray), Dihexa Nasal Spray (10mg in a 10ml nasal spray).
Research background
Joseph Harding and Jay Wright developed Dihexa at Washington State University. Their 2012 and 2014 papers reported that it improved learning and memory in rat models, and that it was extremely potent at forming new synapses in cell cultures.

How to store Dihexa capsules
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight. A cupboard is fine, but a bathroom isn’t, because of the humidity. Leave any desiccant packet in the bottle.
Handle the capsules with dry gloves, and keep the bottle away from children and pets.

Keeping track of your capsules
Sixty capsules is a fixed count, which makes record keeping easy. Note the date you opened the Dihexa capsules and keep a running count, and you’ll always know how many are left and when to reorder.
If you open capsules to work with the powder inside, remember that the labeled amount applies to a whole capsule. Weigh the contents if your method needs a precise figure.
Oral peptide research in brief
Taking peptides by mouth is hard because the stomach and gut are built to break proteins down. Researchers work around that with enzyme-resistant sequences, coatings, absorption enhancers and very small molecules. Comparing a capsule with an injectable form of the same compound is one of the simplest ways to see how much of that challenge a given compound faces.
