Coming SoonImportant safety information

Compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or quality by the FDA. Prescription required.

What is Semax used for?

Focus and mental clarity, mostly. In Russia, where it's a registered medicine, it's used for stroke recovery and cognition. It's the one product in our range aimed at the brain rather than the body.

Is Semax a stimulant?

No. It's a seven amino acid peptide, not an amphetamine or a caffeine analogue, and it doesn't work the way stimulants do. People group it with nootropics instead.

Where does my Semax come from?

A state licensed US compounding pharmacy prepares it for you, and every batch is third party tested for purity and potency. Compounded medications are not approved or evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. Compounding pharmacies are licensed and inspected by state Boards of Pharmacy and are highly regulated. A prescription is required.

How it works

From first question to front door.

What you get with Science & Co

A treatment plan with dose adjustments when clinically appropriate, a quick online assessment reviewed by a licensed provider, secure messaging and scheduled check ins with your care team, and medication shipped cold packed to your door. Every plan includes supplies, shipping and ongoing clinical monitoring.

How to take it

A once weekly injection you give yourself, on the same day each week unless your provider tells you otherwise. You start low and step up on a set schedule, which gives your body time to adjust and keeps side effects manageable.

Potential side effects

The most common side effects are nausea, constipation and diarrhoea, and they usually settle as your body adjusts to each step up in dose. Your provider reviews how you are doing at every check in and can slow the schedule down if you need it.

How does Science & Co ensure quality and safety?

We work only with state licensed US compounding pharmacies. Every batch is third party tested for purity and potency, and you can request a Certificate of Analysis for your prescription at any time.

INSIDE THE PROTOCOL

Start low. Adjust often.

Semaglutide is not a fixed dose you take and hope for. You start low, step up on a schedule your provider sets, and hold wherever your body is responding well. That is the part most people never get, and it is the part that makes it liveable.
The weight kept coming off even when my provider held the dose steady. Nobody pushed me to the next number just to chase a faster result.

FAQ

Common
questions

Why is Semax a nasal spray rather than an injection?

That's the form it was developed and registered in, and the research is built on it. It's the only product in our range that isn't an injection.

Will Semax raise my cortisol?

No. That's the most common worry about anything built from ACTH. The parent hormone drives cortisol release, and this fragment was chosen and modified so it doesn't.

Is Semax a medicine anywhere?

Yes. It's been a registered medicine in Russia since 1994, given as a nasal spray. It hasn't been reviewed by the FDA or the European Medicines Agency, so that registration doesn't carry over here.

What does the Semax research cover?

Mostly the brain, and mostly Russian. Stroke recovery and cognition are the main areas. Most of it hasn't been repeated in large Western trials, so we keep our claims modest.

Is your Semax the same as the Semax sold online?

No. What's sold online is research material, usually a powder you mix yourself, with no guarantee of identity or sterility. Ours is prepared to strength by a licensed US pharmacy.

How is Semax different from the other peptides?

Three ways. It's the only one aimed at focus, the only one that isn't injected, and the only one that's a registered medicine somewhere in the world.
