Semax is a peptide well-known for its neuroprotective, nootropic, and neurorestorative properties. Traditionally, Semax had been used for depression and anxiety. Ongoing research suggests that Semax could be incredibly useful as a therapeutic treatment for individuals experiencing cognitive conditions, including dementia, stroke, and ADHD.

Semax works by increasing the levels of a brain chemical called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This chemical is one of several that works to stimulate and control the creation of new neurons in your brain and also plays a role in helping your brain adapt to new situations and environments. Semax can also slow down the breakdown of enkephalins, which are important for pain relief, reducing inflammation, immunity, memory, learning, and emotional behavior.
