How do I reconstitute Semax?

Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5mg vial of Semax to get a concentration of 2500 mcg/mL. This gives 400mcg per 16 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

What blood markers should I track while running Semax?

Common biomarkers tracked alongside Semax protocols include BDNF (specialized), Cortisol, CBC. Establishing a baseline panel before starting and re-drawing labs at consistent intervals lets you measure changes against your own reference point - generic lab ranges are less informative than your personal trend over time. MyProtocolStack tracks each of these biomarkers in the context of your active Semax protocol.

Semax Dosing Guide

Standard intranasal: 300–600mcg per dose, 1–2x daily. Cycled 2–6 weeks. Russian clinical protocols for stroke recovery use much higher doses (4–9mg/day) but optimization use stays at the lower end.

Blood markers to track

BDNF (specialized)CortisolCBC

Note: Russian clinical peptide. Not FDA-approved. Upregulates BDNF + NGF. Stacks commonly with Selank for combined cognitive-mood support. Short nasal half-life means frequent dosing for sustained effect.
