N-Acetyl Semax Amidate is a semax variant. Adamax is a disputed.
| Comparison | N-Acetyl Semax Amidate NA Semax Amidate · NASA Semax | Adamax ADAMAX · Semax analog |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | How it works This is Semax with two chemical modifications, an acetyl group at one end and an amide at the other, both added to slow its breakdown. | How it works The honest starting point is that nobody selling this agrees on what it is. |
| What it is | A longer-lasting version of Semax for focus and memory. | A product name that different vendors use for completely different things. |

What separates them
Proof behind the dose. Every dose here comes from community practice. Not one is backed by a published human study, which is worth knowing before you read the numbers as if they were equivalent.
What doesn't differ: They are both taken the same way (nasal spray, or injected under the skin) and aimed at the same thing (focus & brain). Neither has a measured effect size from a published trial, so there is no number to rank them on.
What people actually report
N-Acetyl Semax Amidate
- Mostly mild nasal irritation from nasal use.
- Effects from injection have not been studied.
- No serious adverse events have been reported at studied doses
- Signs of an allergic reaction
Adamax
- Unknown, because the compound is not defined.
- Effects reported by users cannot be attributed to any specific molecule.
- Any unexpected effect, since you cannot know what produced it
Side effects are what users and trials report most often, not a complete list. Anything sudden, spreading, or breathing-related is an emergency regardless of which compound caused it.

Effect figures come from separate trials in different populations and are not always directly comparable to each other. Nothing here is medical advice or a recommendation to use any of these.
