Overview

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragments. Originally developed in Russia, it is used to support cognitive performance, enhance memory and learning, and protect the brain from stress-related damage. Semax has been studied for its neuroprotective, neurogenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. It influences levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key protein involved in neuron growth, survival, and plasticity.

Key Benefits / Research Highlights

• Enhances memory, learning, and focus
• Supports recovery from stroke, brain trauma, or ischemic events
• Boosts BDNF and other neurotrophic factors
• Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain
• Improves attention and performance under stress
• May reduce anxiety and improve mood
• Neuroprotective support for aging, burnout, and overwork
