Semax / Selank

"The Nootropic Duo"

SemaxSelankCognitive Enhancement

Benefits

Enhanced focus, anxiety reduction, neuroprotection, mental clarity

Why This Blend?

Semax provides potent cognitive enhancement and BDNF upregulation, while Selank delivers anxiolytic effects comparable to benzodiazepines without sedation. Together, they create calm focus — enhanced cognition without overstimulation.

Mechanism of Action

Semax upregulates BDNF and neurotrophin expression for cognitive enhancement. Selank modulates GABA/serotonin for anxiety reduction and stabilizes enkephalin levels. Complementary pathways: nootropic + anxiolytic.

Dosing Protocol

Typical Ratio: Semax 200-600mcg + Selank 250-500mcg per dose

Both administered as nasal sprays. Semax AM for focus, Selank AM/PM for anxiety. Can be used together or alternated. Cycle 4-12 weeks.

Expected Timeline

Week 1

Rapid cognitive enhancement from Semax; anxiety relief from Selank within days

Weeks 2–4
