Semax
Semax is a synthetic ACTH‑derived peptide that users take for cognitive enhancement and, to a lesser extent, for focus and attention. Community reports describe daily dosing between 200 µg and 600 µg, most often administered orally; one clinician source recommends a 20‑days‑on/10‑days‑off cycle, while other guidance notes that continuous use beyond several weeks lacks study and may provoke nasal irritation. The main drawback is that Semax has no FDA‑approved indication, so all human use is off‑label and compounded, and injection‑site or nasal irritation appears repeatedly in anecdotal reports.
Research Evidence
Evidence shape
The only clinical evidence for Semax is animal‑only research, confined to preclinical mechanistic studies. No registered or completed human trials exist, and there are no blinded or multi‑sponsor data sets to speak of. Consequently, any claims about efficacy in people lack support from human research.
