Semax
Key Takeaways: Semax
Semax is a Other peptide primarily researched for:
- Profound focus and mental clarity
- Neuroprotection after trauma/stroke
- Mood regulation (Anti-depressant/Anxiolytic)
Research Profile
Semax is a synthetic fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Developed in Russia, it is widely used for its powerful nootropic and neuroprotective effects.
Mental Edge
Semax works by increasing the levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and modulating the dopamine and serotonin systems. It provides a sharp, sustained mental boost without the “crash” associated with caffeine or standard stimulants.
Recovery and Resilience
Beyond focus, Semax protects the brain from hypoxia and oxidative stress. It is often researched for its ability to speed up recovery from brain injuries and to help individuals maintain high levels of performance under extreme physical and mental stress.
