Description
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) originally developed as an analog of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4–10). It is widely studied for its neuromodulatory, neuroprotective, and cognitive-enhancing properties.
In research settings, Semax has been shown to modulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, enhance dopaminergic and serotonergic signaling, and protect neurons under oxidative or ischemic stress. These mechanisms make it a key compound in the study of neuroplasticity, memory function, and neuroprotection.
Semax’s unique profile — promoting cognitive resilience and neuronal repair without stimulating hormone production — distinguishes it as a valuable tool in neurological and cognitive research.
To keep your peptides fresh and effective, proper storage is essential. All of our peptides are produced through a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process, which keeps them stable during shipping for up to 3–4 months. Once your peptide is mixed with bacteriostatic water (reconstituted), it should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain maximum quality. After reconstitution, peptides typically remain stable and ready for use for up to 30 days.
Short-Term Storage (Days to Months)
Once your peptides arrive, it’s important to keep them cold and protected from light.
If you plan to use your peptides within the next few days, weeks, or months, refrigeration at or below 4°C (39°F) is generally sufficient.
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides are typically stable at room temperature for several weeks. If they will be used within this timeframe, room temperature storage is acceptable.
Long-Term Storage (Several Months to Years)
For longer storage, peptides should be kept in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F). Deep freezing helps maintain peptide stability and prevents degradation over time.
Important Handling Tips
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as this can compromise peptide integrity and lead to degradation.
Do not use frost-free freezers, since temperature fluctuations during automatic defrost cycles can affect peptide stability.
By following these storage recommendations, you can ensure your peptides remain stable, effective, and ready for use when you need them.
