Semax

Synthetic Heptapeptide for Neurological Research

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) originally derived from a fragment of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10). It is primarily studied in laboratory settings for its potential to support brain health and cognitive function through its unique neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties.

Core Benefits & Research Focus

Semax is investigated for its influence on the central nervous system and its ability to modulate adaptive responses to stress:

• Neurotrophic Factor Expression: Studied for its potential to influence the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key protein involved in the survival, growth, and maintenance of neurons.

• Cognitive Enhancement: Research focuses on its impact on memory pathways and synaptic plasticity, which are critical for learning and cognitive performance.

• Neuroprotection & Recovery: Evaluated for its neurorestorative properties, particularly in how the brain responds to and recovers from injury or chronic stress.

• Neurotransmitter Modulation: Investigated for its role in regulating various neurotransmitter systems within the brain.
