Semax
Semax
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide developed in Russia, derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10) and modified for stability while remaining devoid of hormonal activity. It readily influences the central nervous system, acting as a neuroprotective and nootropic agent. Research shows Semax rapidly upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), along with their trkB receptors, in the hippocampus, key drivers of neuroplasticity, learning, and memory. Studies demonstrate improved cognitive performance, attention, and neuronal survival, as well as neuroprotection against ischemic and oxidative stress in preclinical stroke models. The peptide also modulates dopaminergic and serotonergic systems and inhibits enkephalin degradation, contributing to effects on mood, focus, and stress adaptation. Its rapid BDNF induction and favorable safety profile make Semax a widely studied model compound in cognitive-enhancement, neuroprotection, and neuroplasticity research.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your products third-party tested?
Yes. Every batch is independently tested for identity and purity by HPLC and mass spectrometry at U.S. accredited labs, and a Certificate of Analysis is available for each batch.
What purity can I expect?
All compounds are 99%+ purity, verified by HPLC.
How should this be stored?
Store lyophilized (freeze-dried) material cool and dry; refrigerate once reconstituted. Refer to the product details for compound-specific guidance.
How fast do you ship?
Orders generally ship within 1–2 business days in temperature-controlled, tamper-evident packaging with tracking.
Are these safe for human use?
No. All products are sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only and are not for human or animal consumption.
