Semax 10mg
A research-stable neuropeptide derived from a naturally occurring brain signaling molecule. Registered for medical use in Russia and extensively studied for its influence on key neurological pathways and brain health markers.
How It Works
The Target
BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) production in the hippocampus and basal forebrain. Semax is a synthetic analogue of ACTH(4-10) with a stabilizing Pro-Gly-Pro extension.
The Mechanism
Upregulates BDNF mRNA and protein expression — BDNF is the primary growth factor for neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and new neural connections. Also activates dopaminergic and serotonergic systems and modulates immune gene expression in the brain during ischemic conditions.
Why It Matters
The Pro-Gly-Pro extension makes Semax resistant to enzymatic breakdown, giving it a longer activity window. It is approved in Russia for cognitive and neuroprotective applications, with multiple published studies on BDNF upregulation.
