Semax Research

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), developed in Russia for cognitive enhancement and neurological conditions. Unlike ACTH, Semax has no hormonal activity and doesn't affect cortisol levels. Research has shown it increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), NGF (nerve growth factor), and enhances dopaminergic and serotonergic transmission. It's approved in Russia for stroke recovery, cognitive disorders, and optic nerve diseases. Users report improved focus, memory, mental clarity, and verbal fluency. Studies suggest neuroprotective properties and potential benefits for ADHD and depression.

Selank Research

Selank is a synthetic peptide developed in Russia as an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) medication. It's derived from tuftsin, an immunomodulatory peptide, with an additional sequence for enhanced stability. Clinical studies in Russia have shown Selank reduces anxiety and improves cognitive function without sedation or addiction potential - unlike benzodiazepines. Research suggests it works by modulating GABA, serotonin, and dopamine systems, as well as influencing BDNF expression. It's approved in Russia for anxiety and neurasthenia. Users report clearer thinking, reduced stress response, and improved mood without the 'fuzzy' feeling of traditional anti-anxiety medications.
