Semax
is a neuropeptide developed from a short fragment of ACTH, Pro8-Gly9-Pro10 ACTH(4-10) and is a neuroactive peptide with unique neuroregulatory properties.”
ACTH is short for “adrenocorticotropic hormone”, and it appears to play a large role in controlling our stress levels:
“Adrenocorticotropic hormone is made in the corticotrophin cells of the anterior pituitary gland. It is secreted in several intermittent pulses during the day into the bloodstream and transported around the body. Like cortisol, levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone are generally high in the morning when we wake up and fall throughout the day and lowest during sleep.”
