Semax is on the shelf at diluent.co.uk, held in British stock rather than ordered in, priced from £18.99. It is supplied as nasal spray and vial. A weekday order placed before 2pm goes out the same day, tracked, boxed with nothing on the outside about the contents.

Shipping from inside the country is what removes the customs step: no clearance, no import charge, nothing sitting at a border. Purity is ≥99% by HPLC on every batch, and the certificate for the lot you are sent is yours on request against the number on the label.

Delivery runs £4.95, free above £75, tracked start to finish. See how ordering works.

What is Semax?

Seven residues, Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, analogous to the ACTH(4-10) fragment but without ACTH's hormonal activity. The Institute of Molecular Genetics at the Russian Academy of Sciences developed it, and the Russian Federation registers it as a prescription pharmaceutical. No UK marketing authorisation stands behind it.

What has Semax been studied for?

The record behind Semax includes 1 human study, which few compounds in this catalogue can say. Below is what each paper set out to examine, sorted by the model it ran in:

Human studies

  • Semax in stroke rehabilitation (Gusev, Martynov et al.), Human, 110 patients, NON-randomised and not placebo-controlled

Animal and in-vitro work

  • Semax and BDNF expression in rat brain, Rat, brain tissue (PMID 14556513)
  • BDNF and NGF gene expression changes following Semax administration, Rat, regional brain gene expression (PMID 19662538)

Each line describes what a paper looked at. None of it reports an effect in a person, and no part of this site tells anyone how to use anything.

Where and how to buy Semax in the UK

How do you order?

Pick a strength from the table, put it in the basket and check out. There is no account to set up. The confirmation reaches you straight away and the payment details follow by email, because no card is taken on the site.

Why does UK stock matter?

The Semax you order leaves a warehouse in Britain. That means no customs step, no import charge and no days lost in transit from abroad. Before 2pm on a working day and it is collected that afternoon, tracked, in an outer box that gives nothing away.

Reconstituting Semax

The vial arrives as a freeze-dried cake. It becomes a solution once bacteriostatic water goes in, and how much you add is what decides the strength of that solution. The quantity in the vial never changes, only the volume it is spread through.

2.50 mg/mlConcentration
0.100 mlHolds 0.25mg
10.0 unitsOn a U-100 syringe
25 mcgPer unit of that syringe

What you see here are concentrations and volumes. Nothing on this site is dosage, protocol or administration guidance, and no number above is one either.

Loaded with 5mg and 2ml to start. Move either control and the numbers move with it. The full reconstitution calculator goes further, into syringe units, which water to pick and how long a mixed vial lasts.

Concentration by vial size and water added
Vial+ 1ml+ 2ml+ 3ml+ 5ml
5mg 5 mg/ml2.5 mg/ml1.67 mg/ml1 mg/ml

Take the 5mg vial: 2ml of bacteriostatic water puts it at 2.5 mg/ml. The sum is the milligrams on the label over the millilitres you put in. Every figure here is a concentration. None of them is a dose, and this site carries no dosage, protocol or administration guidance at all.

Asked about mixing Semax

How to reconstitute Semax?

Let it warm to room temperature, wipe the stopper, then send the bacteriostatic water down the side of the glass instead of onto the powder. Roll it until it clears; never shake it. Concentration follows from the volume you picked, so on the 5mg vial, 1ml gives 5 mg/ml, 2ml gives 2.5 mg/ml, 3ml gives 1.67 mg/ml, 5ml gives 1 mg/ml.

How to reconstitute Semax 10mg?

Whatever volume goes in, the 10mg lands somewhere on this scale: 1ml gives 10 mg/ml, 2ml gives 5 mg/ml, 3ml gives 3.33 mg/ml, 5ml gives 2 mg/ml. Our Semax comes in 5mg. The sum does not care which vial it is, though: label milligrams over millilitres added.

How should it be handled?

  • Let a refrigerated vial reach room temperature first.
  • Wipe the stopper with an alcohol swab every time you go in.
  • Aim the water at the glass wall so it runs down, not straight onto the cake.
  • Roll it gently between your fingers. Shaking makes foam, and foam is damaged protein.
  • Give it a few minutes to go into solution. Done properly it finishes clear.

Storing Semax

Sealed vialSomewhere cool, dry and dark. For anything long term, the freezer.
Once reconstitutedFridge, standing upright, away from light. Never freeze it once mixed.
Nasal sprayComes ready mixed, so it goes in the fridge immediately.

How long does it keep?

General figures for a lyophilised peptide
Stored asKeeps for
Sealed, frozen at −20 °CYears. Nothing holds a lyophilised peptide better than this
Sealed, refrigerated at 2–8 °CMonths
Sealed, at room temperatureWeeks. Fine while it is in the post, not a place to keep it
Reconstituted, refrigeratedThink weeks, not months. Four weeks is the number most people work to once bacteriostatic water is in, which is exactly what its preservative is there for
Reconstituted, frozenBest avoided. Ice crystals tear at peptides, and every freeze–thaw round makes it worse

Treat these as the usual numbers for lyophilised peptides, not a stability result measured on one batch. Cold and dry buys time; moisture, heat, light and being shaken about take it away. Ask and we will send the batch certificate of analysis.

We sell Semax as an unlicensed research compound, for laboratory research use only. There is no UK marketing authorisation behind it, it is not a licensed medicine, and it is not for human use, veterinary use or food.

Nothing of this kind is a controlled drug, and selling it as laboratory material is lawful. Selling or marketing it for people to take is not. That line is the reason you will not find a dose, a protocol, a route, a frequency or a medical claim anywhere on this site, and the reason asking for one by email gets the same answer.

A few molecules in this range also appear inside a licensed medicine sold under a brand name. That authorisation belongs to the finished product it was granted for; it does not follow the molecule anywhere else. Full terms.

Research use only. Diluent supplies compounds for laboratory research. Nothing we sell is a licensed medicine, we are not a pharmacy, and we publish no dosage, protocol or administration guidance. Not for human or veterinary use, and not for use in food.

Semax questions

Is Semax approved anywhere?

The Russian Federation registers it as a prescription pharmaceutical. Neither the UK nor the EU approves it.

What formats do you stock?

Two: a 5mg freeze-dried vial, or a nasal spray that arrives ready mixed.

How to buy Semax?

Semax is available in the UK from diluent.co.uk, from £18.99, a single 5mg size, as a ready-to-use nasal spray and vials. The stock sits in Britain, so nothing waits on clearance, nothing attracts an import charge and nothing gets stopped on the way in. That lands at £7.60 the milligram. It turns up as freeze-dried powder, so the concentration is yours to set when you mix it. Get the order in before 2pm on a weekday and it leaves that day, tracked, plainly packaged. Batches go to a third-party lab and come back at ≥99% by HPLC, and the certificate for yours is there if you ask, see how to order.

How much does Semax cost?

It starts at £18.99 for the nasal-spray. 2 options in all, each with its own price and its own rate per milligram. Postage runs £4.95, and nothing at all above £75.

Does Semax need to be refrigerated?

Still sealed and dry it will sit for years at −20 °C, months in a fridge at 2–8 °C, weeks at room temperature. Cold and dry is what buys the time. After mixing it goes in the fridge standing up, and four weeks is the figure most work to with bacteriostatic water. Never freeze it once mixed: ice crystals tear peptides apart and each freeze–thaw round does it again.

Is Semax legal in UK?

We sell Semax as an unlicensed research compound for laboratory research, and for nothing else. No UK marketing authorisation stands behind it, it is not a licensed medicine, and it is not for human or veterinary use. We are not a pharmacy.

What purity is your Semax, and can I see a certificate?

≥99%, measured by HPLC. Quote the batch number on your label and we will send the certificate of analysis for that lot. If you would rather see where current stock sits before you commit, ask and we will tell you.
