Semax | Peptide Encyclopedia | Auryx
Semax is a physician-reviewed Auryx Learn encyclopedia entry. A synthetic ACTH 4–7 fragment that upregulates BDNF and improves working memory, focus, and neuroplasticity. This page is educational. It is not a dosing guide and not a substitute for a licensed clinician.
How it works
Semax is a heptapeptide derived from the ACTH 4–7 sequence with additional modifications for stability. It significantly upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), promotes synaptogenesis, and modulates dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways. It also has neuroprotective effects in hypoxic and ischemic conditions.
- Enhanced working memory and executive function
- Increased BDNF for neuroplasticity
- Neuroprotection against stroke and hypoxia
- Improved stress resilience
- Rapid CNS bioavailability
Used by professionals and biohackers for cognitive performance, and clinically in Russia for post-stroke recovery and neurodegenerative support.
Extensively studied for its effects on BDNF expression, neuroplasticity, and neuroprotection under hypoxic conditions in preclinical models. Significant published research base.
