Semax opens our brain, pain,
and neuropeptides collection.

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:10.940
Its story begins in Moscow,
in the Soviet Union.

00:00:11.780 --> 00:00:14.875
Teams at Moscow State
University and the Institute

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:20.520
of Molecular Genetics worked under
Igor Ashmarin and Nikolai Myasoedov.

00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:22.775
The manufacturer's history

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:28.360
dates development to 1980
and synthesis to 1985.

00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:35.015
Russia registered Semax for
medical use in December 1994.

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:39.860
That gives it more than 30 years
of medical history by 2026.

00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:43.120
Semax contains seven amino acids.

00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:47.580
Four come from a fragment
of ACTH, a natural hormone.

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:49.820
Three more complete the molecule.

00:00:50.980 --> 00:00:54.015
In rats with interrupted
brain blood flow, researchers

00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:58.740
found changes in genes linked to
inflammation and nerve communication.

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:03.880
Those findings suggest mechanisms,
not clinical benefits in people.

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:05.915
A 1997 stroke

00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:11.980
report compared 30 given Semax plus care
with 80 receiving conventional care.

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.760
Its authors reported better
neurological recovery.

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.800
The English abstract does not
specify randomization or blinding.

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:27.260
Stroke recovery and improving focus in
healthy people are different questions.

00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:31.960
The preparation, population,
and outcome matter.

00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:36.895
The FDA's 2026 compounding
review raised concerns

00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:42.080
about product characterization,
impurities, and possible immune reactions.

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:44.780
A long history is part of the story.

00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:49.900
Careful human testing helps
establish what the evidence supports.

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:52.235
World Peptide Foundation.

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.975
Peptides in 2.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.600
Every experience matters.
