Adamax
Adamax is a modified version of Semax with an adamantane group attached, designed to enhance its nootropic effects and extend duration of action compared to standard Semax.
Mechanism of Action
Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration.
Dosage Overview
Dose Range
200 mcg – 750 mcg
Route
intranasal
Frequency
1x daily
Cycle Length
2–4 weeks
Reconstitution
Typical Dosage (Research)
Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency.
Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement.
Considerations for Men & Women
Women: Semax derivative with enhanced potency. Limited research on sex-specific effects. Same cycling recommendations as Semax. No known hormonal interactions.
Men: Same nootropic profile as in women. Intranasal delivery. No sex-specific dose adjustments established.
Individual responses vary. These notes reflect general trends from research literature and are not medical advice.

Side Effects & Risks
Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax.
Very limited research data. Most evidence is anecdotal. May affect thyroid function with extended use.
Who Uses Adamax
Advanced nootropic users seeking enhanced Semax effects, those who found standard Semax insufficient.
