Semax

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of ACTH(4-10). Developed in Russia, it is widely used for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties, particularly after stroke or for ADHD.

Mechanism of Action

Semax increases the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). It also modulates dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, improving focus and mood without stimulation.
