Description
Semax 2 mg is a synthetic heptapeptide recognized for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. It is widely used in scientific research to investigate its impact on brain function, neuroplasticity, and neuronal resilience. This peptide has been studied for its role in improving memory, learning, and stress adaptation.
Mechanism of Action
Semax exerts its effects by increasing the expression of neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These factors play a crucial role in neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and cognitive performance. Additionally, Semax influences the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems, which are critical for cognitive and emotional regulation.
