Used primarily in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, it acts as a neuroprotective agent by stimulating the production of neurotrophic factors. This helps in the repair and maintenance of neurons, making it beneficial for conditions like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, it has shown potential in enhancing cognitive functions and memory retention in clinical studies. Its application extends to research settings where it is used to study neurogenesis and neuronal survival mechanisms.
