Description
ACTH(4-10)-derived nootropic and neuroprotective peptide
Semax is a synthetic peptide recognized for its strong neuroprotective and nootropic effects, used to enhance memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance. Works by upregulating BDNF, a key protein involved in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Also shown to reduce mental fatigue, uplift mood, and ease symptoms of anxiety. May help safeguard the brain against oxidative stress and inflammation.
