SEMAX
Semax, like ACTH/MSH-like peptides (melanocortins) exert pleiotropic non-hormonal actions among their larger activities. These classes of peptides control many behaviors such as regulating attention, processes of learning, and memory formation as a result of their pronounced effect on CNS functions.
Currently this peptide is successfully used in treatment of patients with pathologies related to brain circulation dysfunction and with different intellectual- amnestic problems of the CNS. Doctors have prescribed it for many conditions like anxiety, memory improvement, ischemic events, stroke, nerve regeneration, ADHD, opioid withdrawal, and even chronic diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
Some doctors use it as a preventative measure to protect against chronic disease and to acutely help improve memory and learning processes. It also has a marked antithrombotic and fibrinolytic effect and a gastric protective effect.
It has also been suggested in literature that due to its effect on carboxypeptidase it can also increase physical performance and adaptation capacities in exposure to high intensity exercise. Often prescribed for: Anti-Thrombosis, ADHD/learning, gastric protection, physical exertion, pain improvement and metal toxicities.
SELANK
Selank is another ACTH/MSH-like peptide closely related to the analog tufstin. While traditionally prescribed for anxiety and depression, it has been known to be effective in many other treatments related to immune modulation, anticoagulation, PTSD, ADHD, and metabolic syndromes. Selank has pronounced anxiolytic activity and acts as a stable neuropsychotropic, antidepressant, and anti-stress drug that relieves aggression and fear reaction in different animal species.
Selank also has a nootropic action, which positively influences the formation of memory and learning processes. Clinical studies have shown that the effect of selank is similar to that of tranquilizers at low doses, but is not accompanied by the unwanted side effects such as amnesia, withdrawal, or dependence. Experiments have also demonstrated the effectiveness of Selank in preventing the accumulation of body fat (i.e., weight gain) with simultaneous activation of the functional state of the anticoagulation system in development of the metabolic syndrome.
Furthermore, decreased blood glucose levels have been observed with continuous treatment of this peptide. The peptide Selank, like the drug Semax, induces anticoagulant and hyperglycemia effects. Thus, Selank can be used as a
broad-spectrum therapeutic agent for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.
Often prescribed for: Anxiolytic, Immune improvement, gastric protection, as a preventative weight gain/metabolic syndrome, and with opioid and alcohol withdrawal/ dependence.
