Selank + Semax--nasal? Effects?

[cookieguggleman]

Hi all. Wanting to start researching with Selank and Semax. Anyone here use them nasally? How do you dose them? Do you mix them into a commercial nasal spray brand? Would love some info. TIA

Yes, I have this one as direction. 🙂

I used sterile saline as BAC can cause sinus irritation because of the alcohol. I reconned 20 mg Semax with 1 ml saline, dump it in the sprayer, and add 3ml to it. The snoot spray bottle delivers 0.1 ml per spray so this gives 500 mcg per spray. I do one spray per nostril for a total of 1mg. This provides 20 doses. I did this for both Epitalon and Semax. I get immediate affects and I like it so far. The increased concentration is noticeable. I also use this calculator for intranasal reconstitution: https://peptidescalculator.com/intranasal-calculator

That’s super helpful, thank you so much. I’ve also read that some people just mix it with drugstore saline nasal spray. Do you store yours in the fridge? Good to hear about the immediate effects. I’m really looking forward to trying it.

I got the drugstore saline first, but I changed my mind after reading the ingredients list. I don't want all that other stuff so I went with only sterile saline. Amazon has it in big bottles. It's a bit more expensive, but I have enough crap going in my body. I store the sprays in the fridge and it always should be due to the lack of preservatives.

Also, I'm dosing with 1 mg total because I have a history of TBIs. You may be able to get by with 500mcg total. If you're younger, you could try that first. Being a nasal spray, you can always adjust up or down easily, which is another benefit of this method.

Edit for clarity

Я спробував. Семакс не дав жодного ефекту. Дозування Селанка 500 мкг
1-2 рази на день давав дуже хороший заспокійливий ефект, особливо натщесерце.
Ефект хороший протягом тижня, потім ефект нульовий.
тобі потрібно зробити перерву на місяць-два, щоб знову щось відчути

Як довго ви приймали Семакс і яка була ваша доза? Я відчув різницю, і це тривало кілька годин. Мені 67 років. Чи використовується він в українській медицині?

Semax drops can be easily bought online (Ukr) dosage is also 500 mcg. per day. I also stayed 1000mcg.
I did not feel the difference (maybe because I have constant anxiety). The therapy was also for
a week.
Now I'm in Slovakia, and here I bought Chinese Semax to try again.
Nothing either.
I think it's individual.

I think what that may show is that you have normal brain function and processing. For me, it helps primarily with concentration and word recall. Names, places or when my brain is searching for a term, I can recall them much faster. The vast majority of these peptides are for restoring lost energy or function, and rejuvenation. If this is all Semax does for me, I'm happy.
