Semax is a synthetic peptide developed in Russia with nootropic, neuroprotective, and neurorestorative properties. It is derived from a fragment of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), but unlike ACTH, it does not affect the body’s cortisol levels. Semax has been widely studied and used in Russia and other Eastern European countries for its therapeutic effects on the brain and nervous system.
