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
