Semax
Focus, memory, and brain recovery research
Quick answer
A 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bac water makes 5 mg/mL. A 500 mcg dose is 10 units on a U-100 syringe. Most research runs 2 to 4 weeks.
- Mix it
- 10 mg vial + 2 mL water
- Draw
- About 10 units on a U-100 syringe
- How often
- Once or twice a day
- Store it
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
What it is
Semax is a short peptide first made in Russia. It is studied for attention, memory, and recovery of brain tissue after injury or stroke.
Most used for
- Focus and attention
- Memory and learning
- Mood and stress
- Recovery after stroke or head injury
These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.
Dosing at a glance
These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.
- Vial size
- 10 mg
- Dose range
- 200 mcg to 600 mcg per dose
- How often
- Once or twice a day
- Cycle length
- 2 to 4 weeks, then a break
- Mix with
- Backwater. Semax dissolves easily, so acetic acid is not needed.
- Storage
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
Mixing it
A common setup for Semax is a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bac water.
That makes 5 mg per mL. A 500 mcg dose is about 10 units on a standard insulin syringe.
About the liquid: Backwater. Semax dissolves easily, so acetic acid is not needed.
