COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL WELLBEING
Semax
​​​​
What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4–10). Semax is primarily used for its cognitive enhancement and neuroprotective properties
How Does Semax Work?
-
enhances mood and cognitive functions via neurotransmitter modulation within the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems.
-
Increases level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor
-
Supports neuron survival and synaptic plasticity
-
Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in neural tissues
-
Signals nitric oxide pathways to improve tissue repair which are essential for improving blood flow
-
Aids recovery from neural injuries through gene expression modulations
​
When To Consider Using Semax:
-
Stoke and Brain Injuries Recovery
-
Cognitive Impairment or Neurodegenerative Conditions
-
Enhancing focus, mental clarity, reduced mental fatigue, and mood stabilization
-
Anxiety or Stress-Related Cognitive Dysfunction
​
Contraindications:
-
History of severe psychiatric disorders
-
People with bleeding disorder
-
Hypersensitivity to peptide components
Peptide therapy involves using short chains of amino acids to target specific healing, regenerative, or metabolic pathways in the body. While promising for conditions like inflammation, injury recovery, and anti-aging, most peptides are not FDA-approved for therapeutic use. Current data is primarily based on animal studies and limited human case reports, meaning more robust clinical trials are needed to confirm safety, efficacy, and long-term effects in humans.
