Selank vs Semax
Selank and Semax are both stocked here and are often considered together. This page sets out what differs between them: their class, the sizes and price per milligram, the shape of the published evidence behind each, and where each stands under Canadian law. It does not rank them, because which is appropriate depends on what is being studied.

FAQ
What is the difference between Selank and Semax?
Selank is synthetic tuftsin analogue (heptapeptide); Semax is synthetic acth(4-10) analogue (heptapeptide). The table above sets out the sizes, the price per milligram, the evidence behind each and their Canadian status.
Which has more published research, Selank or Semax?
Selank has 8 cited studies on its page and Semax has 8. Study count is not quality: the model each one used matters more, and both pages list that for every paper.
Are Selank and Semax authorized in Canada?
No Drug Identification Number; named in a Health Canada advisory for Selank. No Drug Identification Number; named in a Health Canada advisory for Semax. Health Canada authorizes a drug by issuing an eight-digit Drug Identification Number, and most research peptides have none.
Can Selank and Semax be used together?
No published study has tested them in combination, so there is no evidence about what a pairing does. We supply both for laboratory research and make no claim about using them together.
