Semax 10mg
Semax 10mg: High-Potency Nootropic Research Peptide
Semax is a synthetic analogue of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment 4-10. Developed for its potent neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties, this heptapeptide is a staple in neurological research, specifically for its ability to modulate Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and TrkB signaling.
Research Highlights
-
Neurotrophic Induction: Acts as a potent stimulator of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and NGF (Nerve Growth Factor), which are critical for the survival, development, and function of neurons.
-
Ischemic Protection: Extensively researched for its neuroprotective effects during oxygen deprivation, helping to mitigate neuronal damage and support recovery in cerebral ischemia models.
-
Dopaminergic & Serotonergic Modulation: Influences the release and reuptake of dopamine and serotonin, suggesting potential applications in regulating mood, focus, and cognitive stamina.
-
Cognitive Enhancement: Studied for its role in improving memory formation, selective attention, and learning speed by enhancing the expression of neurotrophic factors in the hippocampus.
-
Systemic Resilience: Investigated for its ability to increase the body’s adaptive capacity under extreme stress, including high-altitude exposure and intense mental fatigue.
Primary Sequence
The Semax sequence is a heptapeptide consisting of seven amino acids:
Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro
Safety & Research Warning
-
RESEARCH USE ONLY: This material is strictly for laboratory research and in vitro testing. It is not for human or veterinary consumption.
-
Regulatory Status: Semax is not FDA-approved for the treatment of any disease or medical condition.
-
Handling: Research must be conducted in a controlled environment. Use appropriate PPE, including gloves and masks, to prevent accidental exposure.
Storage & Stability
-
Lyophilized Powder: Stable at room temperature for 30 days, but refrigeration at 2°C – 8°C is recommended for long-term storage (up to 24 months).
-
Reconstituted Solution: Must be stored at 2°C – 8°C. For maximum potency, use within 14 days of reconstitution.
-
Sensitivity: Protect from direct sunlight and avoid vigorous shaking or agitation of the vial, as this can denature the peptide structure.
