What is Semax?
Semax is peptide that can support cognitive function, neurological activity, and over all brain health. It is also studied for its role in focus, memory and mental performance.
why did I add it?
I listened to this podcast about the launch of 2 new peptides to the company- Semax and Selank. One was more for the mentally distracted and one was for the anxious. With heading into summer, one of my big obstacles for being a work from home mom, is staying focused on work when I’m interrupted over and over. It’s hard for me to stay on task. So the potential of staying focused during summer when everyone is home, really made me want to try it.

What did I notice?
While, I intended to use it to be able to sit and edit photos endlessly without getting side tracked, it’s actually been useful in a variety of other ways. I can get things on my to-do list knocked out. I’m actually more creative and I get all of these ideas- like the other day I was thinking of on screen text for marketing on my photography reels, and i had so many to jot down. Or coming up with shoot ideas or prompts came easily. I can zip around the house organizing or tending the garden or cleaning the chicken coop or the closet with more motivation. I believe it only gets better as you continue to take it.. I’m using it a couple times a week.
Is this an Injection?
No, it’s actually a nose spray. This is more effective since you are targeting the pathway to the brain. So if you’re scared of needles, you can have no fear.
What is the difference between Semax and Selank?
Semax is more for the ADD personality and Selank is more for the person who struggles with anxiety and being overwhelmed. You can do both together too. What is the protocol?This may vary per patient, but mine is 2-4 sprays a day 3x a week- i think?
