Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10), developed in Russia as a nootropic and neuroprotective agent.
It enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, supporting neuroplasticity, memory formation, and learning while modulating dopamine and serotonin for better focus, mood stability, and motivation.
Semax aids stroke recovery by reducing brain inflammation, improving cerebral blood flow, and accelerating neural repair; it’s also studied for cognitive enhancement in healthy individuals, ADHD-like symptoms, brain fog, and neuroprotection against stress or injury.
