Semax is a Russian-developed synthetic peptide with neuroprotective properties that has been studied for its potential to enhance cognitive function, improve mood, and aid recovery from neurological injury. While widely available in Russia by prescription, it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is only sold for research purposes in the U.S. and Europe. 

Potential benefits
Based on human trials and animal studies, Semax has shown potential benefits in the following areas: 
  • Cognitive enhancement: It may increase mental clarity, focus, attention, memory, and learning abilities, even in healthy individuals.
  • Mood regulation: Semax influences neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which can help stabilize mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
  • Neuroprotection and neuroplasticity: It increases levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that promotes the growth of new neurons and strengthens connections between them.
  • Neurological recovery: In Russia, Semax is used clinically for patients recovering from strokes and traumatic brain injuries to help minimize damage and accelerate neural regeneration.
  • Stress reduction: It may decrease the negative effects of stress on the brain.
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): Anecdotal and some preliminary research suggest it could help with ADHD symptoms without the side effects of traditional stimulants. 

How Semax works
As a synthetic analogue of the hormone ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), Semax works through several pathways to produce its therapeutic effects: 
  • Modulates brain chemicals: It influences key neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin and dopamine, which play a role in mood, motivation, and drive.
  • Increases BDNF: It upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein crucial for neuroplasticity, memory formation, and the survival of neurons.
  • Enhances cerebral blood flow: It increases blood circulation and oxygenation in brain tissue, which can improve cognitive function.
  • Reduces oxidative stress: Semax provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that protect the brain from cellular damage.
