Thymalin vs Adamax
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Thymalin
Thymalin is a polypeptide preparation derived from calf thymus. Developed in Russia, it has been used for decades to support immune function and has shown potential anti-aging effects in long-term studies.

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 | Thymalin | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Regulates the ratio of T-cell subpopulations, stimulates cellular immunity, and enhances phagocytosis. Also affects neuroendocrine regulation and may influence melatonin production. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Clinical protocols: 5-20mg daily intramuscularly for 3-10 days. Often cycled 1-2 times per year for maintenance. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | Intramuscular injection. Usually administered in short courses rather than continuously. Often combined with Epithalamin for anti-aging protocols. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. May cause injection site reactions or temporary flu-like symptoms as immune function is modulated. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
