Semax

Meaning

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide, a short chain of seven amino acids, derived from a fragment of the endogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Classified as a nootropic, it is clinically studied for its potential neuroprotective, anti-anxiety, and cognitive-enhancing properties. This peptide is designed to stabilize and elevate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, supporting neuronal plasticity and resilience against various stressors.
