semax & selank: neuropeptides for cognitive & emotional resilience

What Are Semax and Selank?

Semax and Selank are synthetic peptides originally developed in Russia for use in neurological and psychological health. They’re often grouped together because of their nootropic, neuroprotective, and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) research profiles.

  • Semax is a modified fragment of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) and is studied primarily for cognitive function, focus, and neuroprotection.

  • Selank is a synthetic analog of tuftsin (an immune peptide) and is being explored for its potential effects on stress, mood regulation, and anxiety.

Both are typically administered via nasal spray for rapid absorption into the brain.

What the Research Suggests

Semax May Support:

  • Mental clarity and focus

  • Working memory and learning capacity

  • Recovery from neurological fatigue or stress

  • Neuroprotection and blood flow to the brain

Selank May Support:

  • Reduction in anxiety-like symptoms

  • Improved mood balance and emotional regulation

  • Immune system modulation

  • Cognitive processing under stress
