The 'Flow State' Peptides. Originally developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Originally developed for stroke victims and pilots, these ACTH fragments rapidly increase BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor).
Use this interactive flowchart to identify your cognitive goal and get a personalized protocol recommendation.
Select your primary cognitive goal and get a customized protocol
Like putting a brick on the accelerator. The engine revs high, but you get jittery, crash later, and burn fuel rapidly.
Like upgrading the car's computer. The engine runs smoother, processes data faster, and adapts to curves without overheating.
You don't feel "high"; you just feel "capable."
Scientists snipped ACTH (Stress Hormone) to create ACTH 4-10.
"Brain Fertilizer" for Neurogenesis & Neuroplasticity.
Maintains natural opioids for a "Natural" calm.
Heptapeptide (ACTH 4-10)
A potent cognitive enhancer for complex tasks. Non-stimulatory but provides "high-fidelity" clear thinking.
| Method | Dose | Onset | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal Spray | 200-600mcg | 5-10 mins | 2-4 Hours | Two sprays per nostril. Rapid onset. Best for "boosts." |
| Injectable (SubQ) | 100-300mcg | 30 mins | 6-8 Hours | The Workhorse. Smoother, longer lasting. |
The Anxiolytic Nootropic
Think of Selank as "Semax + Microdose Xanax" (without the sedation/amnesia). Stabilizes mood while keeping the mind sharp.
| Method | Dose | Onset | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nasal Spray | 200-500mcg | Instant | "Panic Button." Keep in pocket for acute stress. |
| Injectable (SubQ) | 200-500mcg | 20 mins | Used daily for 2 weeks to treat GAD. |
| Feature | Semax | Selank |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Focus / Memory / Logic | Calm / Mood / Social |
| Neurotransmitter | Dopamine / Serotonin | Enkephalins / GABA |
| Energy Level | Moderate Boost | Neutral / Calming |
| Best Scenario | "I have a deadline." | "I have a stressful presentation." |
Female, Age 29 - Engineer at FAANG company. Burnout. 6 coffees a day. 'Scatterbrain.'
6 coffees daily, burnout, scatterbrain, high anxiety during meetings
Severe cognitive overwhelm
Cut caffeine by 50%. Introduced Semax (200mcg) + Selank (300mcg) nasal spray each morning
Multi-target cognitive support
Code output increased 40%. Anxiety during scrum meetings vanished
Significant productivity boost
"It was like putting on noise-canceling headphones for my brain." Sustained focus without jitters
Complete cognitive transformation
Successfully managed burnout and achieved sustained cognitive enhancement without stimulant side effects
"Peptides like Semax and Selank work differently than traditional nootropics. They don't flood your system with neurotransmitters—they enhance your brain's natural ability to produce and regulate them, leading to more sustainable cognitive enhancement."
Cognitive peptide mechanisms
— Huberman Lab Podcast"BDNF-promoting peptides like Cerebrolysin represent a paradigm shift in cognitive enhancement. Instead of short-term stimulation, we're talking about actual neuroplasticity and structural changes in the brain that persist long after the peptide is cleared."
