Syn-Ake vs Adamax
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Syn-Ake
Syn-Ake (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate) is a synthetic tripeptide that mimics the effect of Waglerin-1, a peptide found in Temple Viper venom. It's used in cosmetics for anti-wrinkle effects.

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 →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Syn-Ake | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Acts as a competitive antagonist at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, reducing muscle contractions similar to Botox but through a different mechanism. Provides muscle-relaxing effects when applied topically. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Topical: 1-4% concentration in serums or creams. Applied 1-2 times daily to target areas like forehead and crow's feet. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | Topical application only. Should be applied to clean skin. Often combined with other anti-aging peptides for synergistic effects. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated topically. Rare reports of mild skin irritation or sensitivity. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
