| Aspect | BPC-157 | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | BPC-157 works through multiple pathways including upregulation of growth factor expression, nitric oxide system modulation, and promotion of angiogenesis. It enhances tendon-to-bone healing and supports the formation of new blood vessels. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical research dosages range from 250-500mcg administered 1-2 times daily. Both subcutaneous and oral administration have been studied. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | Can be administered subcutaneously near the injury site or systemically. Stable in gastric juice, making oral administration viable. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated in research. Some reports of mild nausea or dizziness at higher doses. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
