Adamax vs HGH Fragment 176-191
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 →HGH Fragment 176-191
HGH Fragment 176-191 is the fat-reducing portion of the growth hormone molecule. Unlike AOD-9604 (which has an additional tyrosine), this is the exact fragment of HGH responsible for lipolytic effects.

| Aspect | Adamax | HGH Fragment 176-191 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. | Mimics the lipolytic region of growth hormone, stimulating fat breakdown and inhibiting lipogenesis without affecting blood sugar or promoting growth. Works independently of GH receptors. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. | Typical dosing: 250-500mcg daily, often split into 2-3 doses. Usually administered on empty stomach, often with fasted cardio. |
| Administration | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. | Subcutaneous injection. Best results when used fasted and combined with exercise. Avoid eating for 30 minutes post-injection. |
| Side Effects | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. | Generally well-tolerated. May cause injection site irritation, temporary lethargy, or headache. Does not affect blood glucose significantly. |
