Adamax vs Pinealon
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 →Pinealon
Pinealon is a short synthetic peptide developed from research on the pineal gland. It has shown neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties in animal studies.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Adamax | Pinealon |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. | Penetrates cell membranes and interacts with DNA to regulate gene expression related to neuronal survival and function. May support pineal gland function and melatonin production. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. |
| Administration | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. |
| Side Effects | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. |
