Kisspeptin-10 vs Adamax
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Kisspeptin-10
Kisspeptin-10 is the active fragment of kisspeptin, a hormone that plays a crucial role in initiating puberty and regulating reproductive function. It acts upstream of GnRH in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

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.

| Aspect | Kisspeptin-10 | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Binds to KISS1R receptors in the hypothalamus, stimulating GnRH neurons to release GnRH. This triggers the downstream cascade of LH, FSH, and sex hormone production. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Research protocols vary widely. Studies have used IV boluses of 1-10mcg/kg or subcutaneous administration. Clinical applications still being developed. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | IV or subcutaneous injection. Has very short half-life requiring frequent administration or continuous infusion for sustained effects. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | Limited data. May cause flushing, increased heart rate, and changes in libido. Generally well-tolerated in studies. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
