Semax, Selank and DSIP, marketed for focus, stress and sleep, and what the research shows.
DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide): what it is, how people use it, and what the evidence shows
DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a naturally occurring nonapeptide, discovered in sleep research in the 1970s and used for deep sleep and stress. What it actually is, why its mechanism is still poorly understood, what its thin and decades-old human evidence shows, its safety unknowns, and what users report.
Selank: what it is, what it does, and what the evidence shows
What Selank is and what it does: the tuftsin-derived Russian peptide used for anxiety and focus. Its studied benefits, whether it is a nootropic or helps sleep, how users say it feels, nasal vs injectable vs the Semax combination, side effects and withdrawal, with the evidence and the forums kept apart.
Semax: what it is, what it is used for, and what the studies actually cover
Semax is a Russian stroke drug, a synthetic ACTH-derived peptide, that became a nootropic-forum staple. What it is used for, what the mostly Russian and animal studies cover, how N-acetyl Semax amidate and Adamax differ (and how little they have been studied), side effects, and what users report.
