Semax

Elite Research

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It’s primarily used for its nootropic and neuroprotective effects, with applications in treating cognitive disorders, stress, and neurological conditions. Semax acts on the central nervous system to enhance memory, focus, and stress resilience

Increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth facto in the hippocampus, enhancing neuroplasticity, learning, and memory

Modulates dopamine, serotonin, and enkephalin systems, improving mood, motivation, and stress response

Enhances cerebral blood flow and protects neurons from oxidative stress and inflammation

Acts as a mild stimulant without causing jitteriness, unlike traditional stimulants

In Russia Semax is approved for stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, cognitive impairment, and attention deficit disorders. Also used for stress reduction, memory enhancement, and neuroprotection

Popular among nootropic enthusiasts for improving focus, memory, and mental clarity. Explored off-label for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and neuroprotection post-injury

It may reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms, improve optic nerve function, and protect against neurodegenerative diseases

Research application

Copied from the handbook as research notes. and not instructions.

  • 5mg vial of Semax
  • Reconstitution volume: 2mL of BAC water
  • 100mcg = 4 units
  • 250mcg = 10 units
  • 500mcg = 20 units
  • Start with 250 mcg per dose, once daily, in the morning to leverage cognitive benefits during the day

Daily for 10–20 days, followed by a 2–4 week break to prevent tolerance

Unless other wise noted intermuscular (IM) peptides are commonly administered via subcutaneous (SQ) injection with 30-31 gauge syringes
