1 What It Does

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from ACTH, used as a nootropic and neuroprotective agent. It raises BDNF and other neurotrophic factors — associated with sharper focus, better memory, and resilience under cognitive load and stress.

Injectable or intranasal

Semax is also widely used as an intranasal spray (NA Semax Amidate). The recon table here is for the injectable form.

3 Reconstitution & Draw

Based on a 30 mg vial reconstituted with 3 mL BAC water. Draw to the units shown on a U-100 insulin syringe.

BAC water addedConcentrationDraw for 1 mg
3 mL10000 mcg/mL10 units
5 mL6000 mcg/mL17 units
NoteWhole 30 mg vial = thirty 1 mg doses
U-100 syringe: 100 units = 1 mL. The standard protocol uses 3 mL water for a 10-unit dose.
Amidate version

The amidated form (NA Semax Amidate) is longer-acting; dosing here follows the standard Semax figures.
