Description
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4β10).
It is studied for its effects on attention, memory, stress resilience, and post-stroke recovery, with research interest in neurotrophin pathways.
Product Highlights
- Each vial contains 10 mL solution (~100 sprays)
- Each spray delivers 0.1 mL = 100 mcg Semax
- Total Semax Content: 10 mg per vial
- Specialized pharmaceutical-grade nasal solution β designed for comfort and ease on the nose
- Unlike many other nasal sprays, this formula avoids irritation and dryness
- Packaged in Class A, lead-free pharmaceutical glass bottles
- Tamper/Child-Proof Cap + Orifice Reducer for integrity, sterility, and ease of use
Description
Semax is explored for its potential in cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and stroke rehabilitation.
Research suggests links to BDNF/NGF pathways, neuroplasticity, and modulation of stress and ischemic responses.
Benefits
- Attention and focus β studied for enhancing task performance and cognitive clarity
- Memory support β linked to improved recall and learning efficiency in research models
- Stress resilience β explored for modulating responses to acute and chronic stress
- Stroke recovery β clinical programs report increased BDNF and motor recovery benefits
- Neuroplasticity β associated with BDNF/TrkB and NGF signaling pathways
Localized Effects with Nasal Spray
- Rapid uptake through the nasal mucosa
- Direct access to central nervous system pathways linked to cognition and stress modulation
- Formulated with a specialized isotonic nasal vehicle to minimize irritation and dryness
What Researchers Use It For
- Mechanistic link to neurotrophins (BDNF/NGF) and plasticity pathways
- Transcriptomic responses in ischemic cortex models
- Clinical trials in Russia exploring cognition, attention, and stroke recovery
- Anti-aggregation properties studied in AΞ²βmetal interaction models
