What It Is
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). It was developed in Russia and has been approved there for stroke recovery, cognitive decline, and neuroprotection. It is one of the most studied nootropic peptides available and has a strong clinical evidence base from Eastern European research.
What It Does
Semax improves memory, focus, and cognitive performance, increases BDNF expression, protects neurons from damage, reduces inflammation in the brain, improves mood, and has been used clinically for stroke recovery and cognitive decline. It also has adaptogenic properties, helping the brain handle stress more effectively.
How It Works
Semax activates melanocortin receptors and increases BDNF and NGF (nerve growth factor) expression. BDNF promotes neuroplasticity, memory formation, and neuronal survival. Semax also modulates dopamine and serotonin systems, which contributes to its mood and motivation effects.
Who Benefits Most
People with brain fog, poor focus, or cognitive decline. People recovering from neurological events (stroke, TBI). People with depression or mood dysregulation. High performers looking to optimize cognitive function. Anyone interested in neuroprotection and brain health as part of a longevity protocol.
Protocol and Dosing
Typical dose: 200 to 600 mcg injected subcutaneously or intranasally once or twice daily. Intranasal administration provides rapid onset and is preferred for acute cognitive effects. Cycle length: 4 to 8 weeks.
| Route | Typical Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Subcutaneous injection | 200 to 600 mcg | Once or twice daily |
| Intranasal | 200 to 600 mcg | Once or twice daily |
Cautions
Well tolerated. May cause mild stimulation or anxiety at higher doses. Start low. Not recommended during pregnancy. Use with caution in people with anxiety disorders.
Pairs Well With
Selank for comprehensive cognitive enhancement with anxiety reduction. Dihexa for stronger synaptogenic effects alongside neuroprotection. NAD+ for cellular energy alongside cognitive optimization.
