Description
Semax 10mg
Semax 10mg is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) built on the ACTH(4–7) fragment and studied in neuropeptide research on BDNF, neurotrophic signaling and neuroprotection models. Supplied as a lyophilized powder and independently lab tested.
What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide. It joins the ACTH(4–7) fragment (Met-Glu-His-Phe) to a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro tripeptide, which makes it more resistant to enzymatic breakdown than the native fragment. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and has been studied for decades in neuropeptide research. Guardian Labs supplies Semax 10mg as a lyophilized research peptide.

Frequently asked questions
What is Semax derived from?
The ACTH(4–7) fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, extended with Pro-Gly-Pro.
Does Semax have ACTH’s hormonal activity?
It’s studied specifically because it lacks the corticotropic activity of full-length ACTH.
How is Semax related to Selank?
Both were developed at the same institute. Selank is a tuftsin analog instead.
