How Semax Works

Modulates Neurotransmitters

Influences dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate systems to support cognitive function and mood.

Increases BDNF

Promotes brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting neuroplasticity, learning, and memory.

Neuroprotection

Helps protect neurons from oxidative stress and supports long-term brain health.
