Adamax vs Epigen
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
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.
Full details →Epigen
Epigen is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. It plays roles in skin regeneration and has been studied for wound healing and anti-aging applications.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Adamax | Epigen |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. | Binds to and activates the EGF receptor (EGFR), promoting cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Involved in skin homeostasis and repair processes. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. | Topical: Typically used at low concentrations (ppm to low %) in cosmetic formulations. Research applications vary. |
| Administration | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. | Primarily topical application for skincare. Research may use other routes for systemic effects. |
| Side Effects | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. | Topical use generally well-tolerated. Theoretical concerns about promoting cell proliferation. |
