What It Is
Semax 5ML

Mechanism of Action

Semax is a synthetic analogue of the ACTH fragment 4-10 developed in Russia. It acts through modulation of neurotrophic, neurotransmitter, and neuroprotective pathways in the central nervous system. Selank is a synthetic peptide developed from a fragment of Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, best known for its anxiolytic, nootropic, and immunomodulatory properties — acting through a variety of neurochemical, immunological, and regulatory mechanisms.

Used together or individually, Semax and Selank target complementary aspects of cognitive and neurological function — Semax through BDNF/NGF upregulation and Selank through GABAergic modulation and HPA axis regulation. Individual outcomes may differ. This protocol is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

FAQ

Common Questions

This compound is not FDA-approved as a drug. It is dispensed as a compounded medication through licensed 503A compounding pharmacies operating under FDA guidelines. All Verum Health protocols require a valid physician prescription.
After completing your HIPAA-secure health intake, a physician or NP will review your medical history, current medications, goals, and contraindications. If you're a candidate, a virtual consultation is scheduled — typically 15–20 minutes. Turnaround is 24–48 hours from intake submission.
Protocol stacking is reviewed on a case-by-case basis during your physician consultation. Any combination protocol is evaluated for safety and clinical appropriateness. Do not combine protocols without explicit physician guidance.
Reorders are managed through your patient portal. A follow-up physician check-in is required at protocol completion before continuation is authorized. Reorder notification is sent 10 days before your protocol completes.
