Semax
What is Selank and how does it work?
Semax is a 7-amino acid peptide that comes from amino acids 4 - 10 of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Typically, the body produces ACTH as a stress hormone, but Semax in particular has many unique properties, such as stimulating neuronal growth and immune function. It’s said to induce the good parts of stress, such as the high and enhanced performance, without the anxiety. So, you can perform and learn with minimal resistance and procrastination.
As a melanocortin, it acts at many places throughout the body, which is why it helps with the immune system, gut health, and brain function.
N-acetyl semax is a synthetic form that is better absorbed and can better cross the blood-brain barrier.
