I love Adamax subQ. Amazing for hours of non jittery focus and clarity. Works way better for me than Semax and Selank/Semax subQ. Never tried any of them in nasal form.
Glowing300-400 mcg/day, 5 days a week, not after 2 PM · Injection
Adamax keep it to morning and noon, don’t use past noon as it does prevent rest I’ve noticed if used 6-8 hrs before. The focus is immense, tasks are completed throughly and with more thought.
I started semax then got adamax now I'm back to semax. Adamax made my head feel like I was having a stroke tbh. Semax is nice and clean, nice for my early mornings

Strict case
A novel molecule with no published animal or human safety data, sold only by grey-market vendors.
Users report
Users often find it stronger and longer than Semax: all-day non-jittery focus, sharper vision, emotional 'thaw' after blunting. Others get fatigue, late-day headache, or nothing; vendor labels (984 vs 1032) are confused. Roughly 30-40% feel little.
Fatigue/lethargy (some) · headache · insomnia if dosed after noon
Watch
No published preclinical or clinical data of any kind; structure, purity and pharmacology unverified · novel chemical modification (adamantane) whose effects are unknown
Evidence
No studies of its own — Vendor claims only
Typical use
150-600 mcg/day nasal or subq, mornings (community).
Getting it
Grey-market only, created by the defunct vendor Ceretropic; often out of stock. Vendors sell two different molecules under the name (about 984 Da and 1032 Da) and none of it is independently characterised.
Stacked with
Selank or Adalank: Adamax in the morning for focus, Selank or Adalank in the evening to wind down; several users run this pairing. · Stimulants (Vyvanse, Adderall, modafinil): Users say it synergises with them; coffee a few hours after a dose made one user jittery, and some take it only on stimulant-free days. · Bromantane and Dihexa: Stacked by one NooTopics user on days off Vyvanse.

Around a week in I started noticing pretty big improvements in memory, the stuff I was studying was sticking alot better. However I also noticed a few minor side effects, headaches were happening a lot more frequently and I found It was harder to fall asleep.

Semax felt inert to me. Little to no effect regardless of dose. Adamax is definitely noticeable and I stack it with Bromatane and Dihexa on the days I don't take vyvanse.

first 4-5 days not so much but after that i started feeling it. I got 30% more focused on tasked and things i normaly didn’t enjoy got a lot easier to do, i notice i didnt chase the phone and social media that much as normal.

I’ve tried semax before via SubQ and didn’t feel much. I personally think Adamax is noticeably stronger. Focus all day and no chatter in brain. It has helped immensely in workplace productivity.
Love Adamax ! Take it Monday - Friday subQ but lately with my current cycle I'm struggling to get into a good deep sleep. Last time I ran this cycle I vaguely remember not being able to sleep and now this go around it's the same thing. It's the only downside.
It's tough because the effects are strong and useful but there's a long "tail" afterward in which I feel kinda miserable. It definitely increases physical, mental and emotional endurance. I can get huge weightlifting sessions on it. But the comedown lasts 2-3 days
MixedEnergy · 0.33-0.8 mg, about once a week · Injection
first-dose post rated it 10/10; this is the follow-up three weeks later
I moved up to 500mcg and that was really great intense focus and mental clarity but a huge crash afterwards after being WAY too overstimulated. Today I took 100mcg and got the similar intense feelings, but a big crash afterwards again.
Im using it right now, I would say it is tiny more stimulatory than the regular semax. But not much difference between 0,5mg adamax and 0,5mg semax in my experience.
It didn’t work at all for me, yet everyone’s different. I’ve heard that it was like Semax I’m steroids… I noticed nothing, absolutely nothing. Waste of money.

I tried intranasal adamax - it fatigued me like crazy. Would feel sleepy and lethargic. I tried titrating down and up but it never seemed to give the desired effect.
NegativeNasal
ADHD, paused stimulant medication during the trial
I’d rank them for me: 1. NA Semax 2. Adamax 3. Semax. Maybe I’d swap 1 and 2 but couldn’t get my dose dialed in with Adamax.

No study exists; about thirty first-hand reports describe fatigue, headache and one severe migraine, none serious. The zero reflects community use only.
Each bead is one amino acid in the peptide's chain, coloured by its side chain: grey for non-polar, cyan for polar, blue for positively charged and fuchsia for negatively charged. Length and mix tell related peptides apart at a glance, from a two-residue dipeptide like carnosine to a 43-residue protein like thymosin beta-4. The colours describe chemistry only and predict neither effect nor safety.

Report grades
Every first-hand Reddit or X report is graded on its own, from glowing through positive, mixed, nothing and negative to bad reaction, and the bar shows how those grades split. Posts that look vendor-adjacent stay on the peptide's page but are left out of the counts.
GlowingPositiveMixedNothingNegativeBad reaction
% positive
The share of a peptide's graded Reddit and X reports that are glowing or positive, vendor-adjacent posts left out. A peptide with few reports is pulled toward the average of all reports, as if it had eight average ones besides its own, so two glowing posts cannot top the list. Kept peptides rank by the same reports' mean grade, shrunk the same way, and excluded ones follow in that order.
Researcher estimate
No first-hand report of this peptide has been graded yet, so the figure is the researchers' own rating out of 10 from what they read about it. It ranks alongside the computed scores until reports arrive.
Safety tier
Each peptide is tiered clean, caution or excluded from its five risk axes under the chosen safety bar. An excluded peptide has a plausible route to serious harm, so it stays listed with the reason but ranks behind every other entry, however good its reviews.
Safety bar
The safety bar sets how much risk it takes to exclude a peptide. Strict: out on any serious mechanism with little human data, or any documented serious harm. Balanced: out on documented serious harm (unless it is obvious, reversible and from a regulated product), or a serious mechanism whose harm would be silent with no human data at all. Evidence only: out only on documented serious harm in humans that is lasting, delayed or from grey-market product.
Seen harm
Documented serious adverse events in humans, from 0 for none despite real exposure to 3 for deaths or several well-documented serious harms. Serious means a hospital or emergency visit or harm lasting weeks, so a headache or a bad night does not count.
Mechanism
A plausible biological route to serious harm at the doses people use, such as growth-factor signalling, hormone-axis suppression, heart or blood-pressure effects or immune activation. It runs from 0 when none is known to 3 when a dangerous pathway has been shown in living animals.
Data gap
How little human safety data exists for the molecule actually sold, from 0 for an approved drug with large trials and years of use to 3 for no human safety data at all. A modified analogue does not inherit its parent's trials.
Silent harm
Whether the feared harm would show quickly or stay hidden, from 0 when it is obvious and goes on stopping to 3 when it is silent and delayed, like tumour promotion or slow organ damage. User reports cannot reveal a harm that takes years to appear, so a high score here limits what good reviews can tell you.
Product
The risk of what people actually buy, from 0 for a regulated pharmacy or supplement product taken by mouth or on the skin to 3 for a grey-market injectable. In one dataset of 6,441 grey-market samples, 42–71% failed basic quality criteria and 15% carried endotoxin.
Evidence
The strongest kind of study behind the peptide's effects, from an approved drug through human controlled trials and small human studies to animal work or nothing of its own. Animal results often fail to carry over to people.
Access
How people get it: as an approved drug, a compounded prescription, an over-the-counter supplement or from the grey market, where nobody checks the vial. The channel decides both the legal position and the risk of a bad batch.
Price per month
Thirty days of the typical dose, from its low end to its high end, priced at the listing a careful buyer would choose: in stock, from a shop scoring 4 of 5 on trust (third-party tested where no score is set), failing that 3, a pure pack before a blend, a European shop first, then the cheapest per mg. The range is the dose's, not the shops'. A per-dose amount counts once a day unless the dose says otherwise. Prices are in euros at ECB rates of 2026-10-29, before shipping; the shop table keeps each listing's price per mg, per gram for bulk supplements. Where no listing can be priced the researchers' own estimate stands in, and says so.
Dose users report
The middle half of the daily doses stated in at least five first-hand reports, vendor posts left out. Where its middle sits more than twice above or below the declared dose, the month is priced at it as well, since what people take is what they pay for.
Testing
Whether the shop publishes lab results: third-party tested means an independent lab checks each batch, own COA means the shop's own certificate of analysis, and no public tests means neither. A certificate shows purity, not safety.
Added peptide
Some packs sold under one peptide's name hold a second one, such as 5 mg GHK-Cu in a nasal kit, stated only in the description. Sprayed in the nose or injected it reaches the blood like an injection, so it carries the risk of that route and is tiered as the injectable form, whatever its tier on the skin. A pack whose page gives no contents list may hold more than its name.
