Peptide SEMAX
Semax is an ACTH/MSH-like peptide (melanocortin). It influences learning
processes and exploratory behavior, regeneration and development, nociceptive and
inflammatory processes, accelerate nerve regeneration and improve neuromuscular
performance. Together these classes of peptides control many behaviors such as
regulating attention, processes of learning, and memory formation as a result of their
pronounced effect on CNS functions. Currently this peptide is successfully used in
treatment of patients with pathologies related to brain circulation dysfunction and with
different intellectual-amnestic problems of the CNS. Doctors have prescribed it for
many conditions like anxiety, memory improvement, ischemic events, stroke, nerve
regeneration, ADHD, opioid withdrawal, and even chronic diseases such as ALS,
Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. Some doctors use it as a preventative measure to
protect against chronic disease and to acutely help improve memory and learning
processes. It also has a marked antithrombotic and fibrinolytic effect and a gastric
protective effect. It has also been suggested in literature that due to its effect on
carboxypeptidase it can also increase physical performance and adaptation
capacities in exposure to high intensity exercise.
