Semax

Cognitive · Mood Nasal Spray

Semax is a synthetic fragment of ACTH originally developed for stroke recovery, now widely used for cognitive enhancement. Delivered intranasally, it crosses directly into the central nervous system, where it increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and supports learning, memory consolidation, and neural resilience.

Best for: Brain fog, ADHD-adjacent focus issues, post-concussion recovery, memory support.
