Supercharged vitamin k could help the brain heal itself

Researchers have synthesized enhanced vitamin K analogues that outperform natural vitamin K in promoting neuron growth. The new compounds, which combine vitamin K with retinoic acid, activate the mGluR1 receptor to drive neurogenesis. They also efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier and show stability in vivo.
Hey we still alive peeps! This sounds like a freakin nootropic if I'd seen one. How long before we can get our hands on it?
Would this help with neuroplasticity?
If it stimulates neurogenesis I suppose it would help with neuroplasticity as well?
Interesting.
