Adamax vs NA-Selank Amidate
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Adamax
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 →NA-Selank Amidate
NA-Selank Amidate (N-Acetyl Selank Amidate) is an enhanced version of Selank with improved stability and blood-brain barrier penetration. The modifications increase bioavailability and duration of cognitive and anxiolytic effects.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Adamax | NA-Selank Amidate |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. | Same core mechanism as Selank - modulates BDNF, serotonin, and norepinephrine systems. The N-acetyl group improves membrane permeability while the amidate modification increases enzymatic stability. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. | Intranasal: 100-400mcg 1-3 times daily. Lower doses needed compared to standard Selank due to enhanced bioavailability. |
| Administration | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. | Primarily intranasal administration. Can be used sublingually. More stable in solution than standard Selank. |
| Side Effects | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. | Generally well-tolerated. Possible mild fatigue or nasal irritation. Less frequent dosing needed than standard Selank. |
