Semax experiences / Nasal vs pin?

[fraxxx]

Hey everyone, I have been considering giving Semax a try.
My ultimate goal is staying focused and potentially improving memory.

My main question is if anybody has studied thoroughly this peptide. I have heard mixed reviews about it : some say it helped with focus and memory, others say it doesn’t do anything and noticed no improvement.

I’d be willing to give it a try, would thinking that since some have noticed no effects at all it’s somewhat “safer” to try?

Also, I would consider taking it via Nasal Spray because I have read that it’s the standard usage in Russia (where it’s already used) and it’s way more convenient than pinning.

Is taking a peptide via nasal spray more dangerous than taking it subq? I am not sure if the concept of taking it through the nose to directly cross the blood brain barrier is a stupid / risky idea.

Given that, I have found 0 “famous” sources for nasal (to EU) and I’m not sure if a random supplier could be trusted even with tests.

Any help is appreciated, hope this makes sense. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

I have an order of Semax and Selank nasal sprays arriving in the next few days. I want to give it a try and the nasal approach sounds convenient. If I like it I suppose I could get lyophilized kits and reconstitute with saline. There's a guide on Peppy's for doing that.

I noticed when taking Semax daily that after a week or so, I would start to get this feeling that I can't quite pinpoint, but didn't like. Sadness, anxiety, anger, something like that. But it does work well for me when I take it as needed. It's especially useful for when I haven't had enough sleep and need to be awake and alert. I've taken it subcutaneously and intranasally. SubQ lasts longer, but IN is more convenient.

Was this inconvenient sensation happening only during the effects of semax?

Also, were you able to significantly feel the benefits of it (as in, not placebo by the thought of having used it) and would you say it’s fair to give it a try?

I am looking for someone whos been on it for a while on this forum possibly! Thanks

Can’t really tell, I have only found one seller that has a fair price shipped to EU. Can anyone suggest any trusted seller that can ship nasal to eu?

I would reconstitute myself but I’m not sure I can do a decent job, but on the other hand I’m not sure I can fully trust a suppliers method which could be done poorly and I have no way of checking.
Also, is generally less safe to take it nasally vs pinned if you know?

Thanks!

I haven’t researched Semax yet, but I’m planning to reconstitute it for NI. I found Snoot nasal spray bottles that provide a measured dose of 0.1 ml on Amazon and I’m thinking about doing the same with Epitalon ( not at the same time). I also found this link helpful: https://allaboutpeptides.com/semax-dosage-chart-and-calculator/

Yes, it was only happening when I was taking the Semax, and stopped when I quit. It could have been an interaction with some other meds I take.

I have used it when I've had to be in large groups and felt I was better able to relax and focus more on conversations. Sure, could have been placebo, but placebo can create clinically confirmed physical results. All I care about is that it's working.

I have been researching semax for 8 wks.. I definitely feel brighter smarter and more On it.
As I mentioned, I am killing it in Mahjong. It is hard to quantify.. But If there wasn't this protocal to stop after 8 wks, Id pin it everyday.

I’m a mahjong fan too! Riichi specifically, haven’t tried the others.

I really just started two weeks ago. American version.

Do you mind sharing your protocol?

Any updates? What protocol are you following?

I started out doing 5 days, but then over time, I just pin it with my other pins, every other day, I am not strictly following the protocal. I have passed 8 wks..So now I will take a break.
I know It is best to follow established protocals..

I tried both, subq, without success. I might give it a shot again next year when my research into Epitalon, NAD+, MOTS-c completes. But I will definitely go the Intranasal route.
I was taking 500mcg of Semax, along with 250mcg Selank in the AM, and 250mcg of Selank in the evening, everyday. After 4 vials of Semax I got tired of all the pinning and switched to 500mcg of Selank in the PM to see if I got any improvements in my sleep. Nada. I might have double dosed that Selank a few times hoping to get something out of the money spent. Nothing. I think a small Old Fashioned for a night cap is more effective. But, I think to research it properly, intranasal would be the proper delivery system.

Maybe nothing can help the Reta side effects of having a higher heart rate at night and the additional trips to the potty.

You might try a different supplier..could be the batches. ? I bought from two different suppliers, both had effects, though different. But then, I reconned with more bac the secound round. There are different amounts rec'd in different places too.
