Educational information on traditional homeopathic use only. Not medical advice.
Cerebrum compositum is one of Heel's longest-running ampoule remedies, and it goes by several names: Cerebrum Comp, Cerecomp, and on German boxes Cerebrum compositum NM Ampullen. If you have searched for "Cerebrum compositum Heel" and landed on confusing listings, this guide sets out what it is, what is in it, and how it is traditionally used.
One remedy, several names
Our product page confirms that Cerebrum Comp, Cerebrum Compositum and Cerecomp are the same remedy, also sold as Cerebrum compositum NM Ampullen. It is supplied as 2.2 ml ampoules from Heel. You will sometimes see "Cerebrum compositum N" or "NM": these refer to the manufacturer's formulation label, and the box we supply is the one described on our page.
What is it traditionally used for?
The manufacturer's printed indications describe stimulating the body's own defence mechanisms in a range of nervous-system and age-related situations, including problems with memory, nervous exhaustion, states of agitation, and the recovery period after head injury. The list also contains several serious neurological diagnoses. Those conditions need specialist medical care, and a homeopathic ampoule can only ever be something a person discusses with their doctor, not an alternative to their treatment.
Practitioners most often reach for it for general nerve and brain-related support, particularly in older people or in people who describe themselves as mentally drained.
The ingredients, grouped
The formula has 27 ingredients, each at 22 microlitres per 2.2 ml ampoule. Rather than reading the list line by line, it helps to see how they fall into families.
- Organ preparations (porcine): Cerebrum suis D8 (brain), Embryo suis D10, Hepar suis D10 (liver), Placenta suis D10. These are the "suis" ingredients and mean the product is not suitable for people who avoid animal-derived items.
- Minerals and salts: Kalium phosphoricum D6, Manganum phosphoricum D8, Magnesium phosphoricum D10, Kalium bichromicum D8, Selenium D10, Acidum phosphoricum D10. Phosphates are classic "nerve nutrition" salts in homeopathy.
- Plants: Thuja D6, Ignatia D8, China D4, Anacardium D6, Conium D4, Hyoscyamus D6, Aconitum D6, Cocculus D4, Ambra D10, Gelsemium D4, Ruta D4, Arnica D28, Aesculus D4.
- Nosodes: Luesinum D13 and Medorrhinum D13, historic homeopathic preparations used in the constitutional tradition.
- Others: Bothrops lanceolatus D10 (snake venom preparation) and Sulfur D10.
