Semax is a synthetic peptide that is an analog of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It has been studied for its neuroprotective, cognitive-enhancing, and antidepressant effects. Semax stimulates the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that promotes neuron growth and survival, and modulates neurotransmitter levels including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. It offers nootropic, neuroprotective, and neurorestorative benefits.
Benefits
- Memory enhancement: Participants using Semax made 31% more correct responses than the control group on memory tests
- Neuroprotection: Shields neurons from stroke, trauma, or neurodegenerative disease damage
- Antidepressant effects: Reduces anxiety and depression in animal studies
- Supports neuron survival and promotes synaptic growth and neuroplasticity
- Helps neurons adapt to injury or environmental change
- Protects the optic nerve and may be helpful for related disorders
- Improves trophic supply of the brain (supports brain network connectivity)
- May help manage ADHD symptoms
- Inhibits enzymes that degrade enkephalins and regulatory peptides
- May support recovery from opioid or alcohol withdrawal
- Shows improvement in non-proliferative diabetic neuropathy
- Potential for pain relief
Possible Side Effects
- Headache
- Nausea
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
Contraindications
- Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding
- Not intended for individuals under 18
