Semax
ACTH-derived heptapeptide studied for neuroprotection and attention research.
WHAT IS IT?
Semax is a short peptide based on a fragment of ACTH, a stress-related brain hormone, modified to act on the brain rather than the stress glands.
WHY ARE PEOPLE INTERESTED?
It's studied in cognitive research — nerve protection, attention, and recovery after brain injury in lab models.
WHAT HAS RESEARCH SHOWN?
Russian clinical reports described faster recovery after stroke. Outside of that, evidence is limited and not established.
Distinguishes established clinical findings from early human trials, animal experiments, or laboratory cell culture findings. No human dosing, injection instructions, or treatment recommendations are provided.
FDA STATUS
Semax is approved in Russia for stroke and optic nerve disease. It is not FDA-approved in the U.S.
BBOHC LABS research reagents are non-clinical materials. An FDA approval for a finished medicine containing the same active ingredient does not imply that BBOHC's investigational research vial is FDA-approved.
Known risks & handling
Mild nasal irritation in animal intranasal models.
