Semax Dosage Chart & Schedule
A synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of ACTH, developed in Russia and studied for nootropic and neuroprotective effects, typically administered intranasally in research.
Typically administered intranasally in research. References commonly cite about 200-600 mcg per dose, given one to three times daily; most human evidence is from Russian clinical research and it is not FDA-approved.

Intranasal, Russian clinical origin
- Derived from an ACTH fragment and developed in Russia; studied for nootropic and neuroprotective effects and not FDA-approved.
- Sold in different labeled concentrations (e.g., 0.1% versus 1% nasal solutions), so per-drop content varies with the formulation.
Ready to run this protocol?
Dosing is only as good as the vial. Semax is third-party tested with published COAs from our top-rated source — reconstitute with confidence and skip the guesswork on identity and purity.
Weekly schedule
A typical week on the standard protocol (2-3x daily).
Dosing day Off
Handling & storage
- Often supplied or prepared as a nasal solution; from a 10 mg vial + 2 mL diluent = 5 mg/mL, a 300 mcg dose is about 0.06 mL.
- Check the labeled concentration (0.1% vs 1%) before dosing, since per-drop content differs substantially.
- Refrigerate the reconstituted solution and keep any lyophilized powder cool and dark.
Semax dosing FAQ
How is Semax dosed?
Most research uses intranasal administration of about 200-600 mcg per dose, split one to three times daily.
Why do product strengths differ?
Semax nasal solutions are sold in different concentrations (commonly 0.1% and 1%), so the same number of drops delivers very different amounts; always check the label.
Is it approved?
No. Most human evidence comes from Russian clinical research, and it is not FDA-approved.
