Adamax 984_Dosage, benefits & legal status
A second molecule sold as Adamax: acetylated Semax with two amino acids added and no adamantane.
What is Adamax 984?
Plain language first. The technical label stays, but it never stands alone.Overview
Semax with a cap on one end and two amino acids added to the other. It is sold under the Adamax name but is not the adamantane molecule, and no study has tested it.
Adamax 984 is given by its seller as Ac-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-Ala-Gly-OH, a nine-residue free acid with formula C44H61N11O13S and molecular weight about 984.1 g/mol. It is acetylated Semax extended by alanine and glycine, with no adamantane group, and so is distinct from Adamax 1032. No peer-reviewed study characterizes it.
What it's used for
Sold for focus and cognition under the Adamax name, on the strength of Semax's reputation rather than any study of its own.
How does Adamax 984 work?
What it does in the body, and where.Adamax 984 is Semax with one addition at each end, and neither is the adamantane group the Adamax name usually implies.
- 01It starts from SemaxSemax is a short fragment of the stress hormone ACTH with three amino acids added to its end, studied in Russia for stroke and cognition.
- 02An acetyl cap and two amino acids are addedThe acetyl group covers the starting end. Alanine and glycine extend the far end, which is left as a free acid.
- 03It is not Adamax 1032The adamantane form weighs about 1032 and this one about 984. The name alone does not tell them apart, so the measured mass on a certificate of analysis is what identifies it.
- 04Nothing about it has been testedNo peer-reviewed paper studies this molecule. Claims made for Adamax in general are extrapolated from Semax.
What else is it used for?
Each use below carries its own evidence level. Approved means regulators have cleared it for that purpose. Investigational means it is in trials. Early research means it is being studied and is not established.

How do I dose and price it?
Enter your vial and your dose. Pick a mix. We show the draw and the cost.The vial holds a fixed amount of drug. Adding more water does not make more drug, it just spreads it thinner, so you draw a bigger number on the syringe for the same dose.
No flat reference range is recorded for this compound. The calculator only does the math on the dose you enter.

How do you store it?
Before mixing, and after.Dry powder in the freezer or fridge. Once mixed, fridge, and use within about a month.
Unmixed lyophilized Adamax 984 keeps for a long time cold. Once you add water the clock starts: most reconstituted vials hold up for roughly 28 to 30 days at fridge temperature. Keep it out of light, and do not freeze it after mixing.
What are the side effects and cautions?

What has happened recently
Not approved anywhere and not the subject of any published study. New Zealand's regulator named it in a 2025 submission to the Medicines Classification Committee proposing that unscheduled peptides intercepted at the border be classified as prescription medicines. The committee deferred at its meeting of July 23, 2025, asking for more information before making a recommendation.
