Weekly Schedule

Daily intranasal administration. Morning dose for Semax (stimulating). Selank can be morning or evening (anxiolytic, non-sedating).

Peptides in This Protocol

Semax

Semax (ACTH 4-10 Analog with PGP C-terminal)

Selank

Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro)

Notes & Tips

  • No injections needed — both peptides are intranasal sprays
  • Semax is stimulating; best taken in the morning
  • Selank is anxiolytic without sedation — safe for daytime use
  • Effects are often noticed within the first few days
  • Can be cycled indefinitely with periodic 1-2 week breaks

Warnings

  • Avoid Semax if you have a seizure disorder
  • Start low to assess individual sensitivity
  • Selank may enhance the effects of other anxiolytics/sedatives
