🧠 SEMAX Variations Explained: Modifications & Applications
Let's break down the three main SEMAX variations, how they're chemically modified, and what each is best suited for. I will do a run-through and have all the variations updated on peptideprice.store tonight.
1. SEMAX (Regular/Base Form)
The Modification:
- This is the unmodified base peptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro)
- No protective groups added
- Rapidly broken down by peptidases in the body
Half-Life: ~1-2 hours
What It's Good For:
- Acute cognitive enhancement (studying, important meetings)
- Quick mental clarity boosts
- Situations where you want rapid onset and offset
- Testing tolerance before moving to longer-acting versions
- Fine-tuned control over timing of effects
Dosing: 2-3x daily (typically 300-600mcg per dose)
2. N-Acetyl SEMAX
The Modification:
- An acetyl group is added to the N-terminus (beginning) of the peptide
- This modification protects against enzymatic breakdown
- Makes the molecule more stable in the bloodstream
Half-Life: ~2-4 hours
What It's Good For:
- Extended focus during work sessions (4-6 hours)
- Better balance between onset speed and duration
- Reduced dosing frequency compared to regular SEMAX
- Neuroplasticity support throughout the day
- Better for maintaining stable mood and energy
Dosing: 1-2x daily (typically 300-900mcg per dose)
3. N-Acetyl SEMAX Amidate
The Modification:
- Acetyl group on the N-terminus (like above)
- PLUS an amide group on the C-terminus (end) of the peptide
- Double protection from enzymatic degradation
- Most stable and longest-lasting form
Half-Life: ~8-12 hours
What It's Good For:
- All-day neuroprotection and cognitive support
- Consistent mood elevation and stress resilience
- Recovery protocols (TBI, stroke, neurodegenerative concerns)
- Long-term neuroplasticity and BDNF upregulation
- Convenient once-daily dosing
- Best for sustained anxiety reduction
- Ideal for people who don't want to redose throughout the day
Dosing: 1x daily, sometimes 2x (typically 600mcg-1.5mg per dose)
📊 Quick Comparison:
Onset Speed: Regular > N-Acetyl > Amidate
Duration: Amidate > N-Acetyl > Regular
Stability: Amidate > N-Acetyl > Regular
Convenience: Amidate > N-Acetyl > Regular
Acute Effects: Regular > N-Acetyl > Amidate
Neuroprotection: Amidate > N-Acetyl > Regular
💡 Pro Tips:
- Start with N-Acetyl Amidate if you want simplicity and don't need immediate effects
- Use regular SEMAX if you're sensitive to peptides or want controllable timing
- N-Acetyl is the "Goldilocks" option - middle ground for most users
- All three have similar mechanisms of action (BDNF, NGF, dopamine modulation)
- The modifications don't change WHAT it does, just HOW LONG it does it
