What is Semax?
Research Focus: Cognitive, Neuro, Mood
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is studied for its powerful nootropic, neuroprotective, and mood-enhancing properties.
At a Glance
Semax is believed to rapidly increase the expression of neurotrophins, particularly Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which are crucial for neuronal survival and plasticity. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Semax
Semax is believed to rapidly increase the expression of neurotrophins, particularly Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which are crucial for neuronal survival and plasticity.
How It Works
Neurotrophin Induction
Significantly boosts BDNF and NGF, promoting the growth and survival of neurons.
Monoamine Modulation
Influences the levels of dopamine and serotonin, contributing to improved mood and focus.
Neuroprotection
Offers protection against various forms of brain injury and oxidative stress.
Current Research Insights
Potent Nootropic
Semax is highly regarded in research for its rapid and profound effects on attention, memory, and mental energy.
Areas of Study
Cognitive Decline
Investigated for improving function after stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Attention Deficit Disorders
Studied for enhancing focus and concentration.
Mood and Stress
Researching its role in combating depression and chronic stress.
Semax is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
