Adamax vs Thymulin
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 →Thymulin
Thymulin (Facteur Thymique Sérique) is a zinc-dependent nonapeptide hormone produced by thymic epithelial cells. It plays important roles in T-cell differentiation and immune system maturation.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Adamax | Thymulin |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. | Requires zinc for biological activity. Promotes T-cell differentiation, modulates cytokine production, and influences neuroendocrine function. Levels decline significantly with age. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. | Research protocols vary. Often studied alongside zinc supplementation. Typical research doses in the microgram range. |
| Administration | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. | Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in research settings. Requires adequate zinc status for activity. |
| Side Effects | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. | Limited data on exogenous administration. Theoretical effects on immune function require monitoring. |
