Dr. Cho’s clinic offers Semax therapy, a synthetic hormone analog enhancing cognitive functions and stress response. It boosts BDNF levels, crucial for neuron growth and brain health, and activates dopamine and serotonin systems, aiding in memory, learning, and mental readiness.
Semax is a synthetic analogue of the adrenocorticotropic hormone, a hormone responsible for the production of cortisol which in turn regulates glucose and lipid metabolism and helps to maintain blood pressure. In the hippocampus, Semax rapidly elevates the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein important in encouraging growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. BDNF is active in the hippocampus, cortex, and forebrain and is important for memory, coordination, concentration, and learning. Semax also works to activate the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems to help prime the brain for action and to induce a controlled state of mental stress.
Semax is not biologically available in oral form and is most commonly administered as a nasal spray which will deliver the peptide into the bloodstream and into the brain most effectively
