Overview
What is Semax / Selank?
Semax is an ACTH fragment analog studied for cognitive and neuroprotective effects; Selank is a tuftsin analog examined for anxiolytic activity. Both originate in Russian neuropeptide research.
Mechanism
How it works
Semax research has examined BDNF expression and dopaminergic modulation; Selank research has focused on GABAergic signaling and serotonin turnover. The combination is discussed as covering both focus and stress load.
