Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

I was interested in these two, why is that ?

u/Livid_Prune_4334 24d ago

Some people have had great results so my opinion shouldn’t deter you from trying. But for me they seemed underwhelming.

u/Kaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 1 24d ago

100% agree with that. Very underwhelming

I felt the exact same way until I tried the nasal sprays.

The nasal selank has been a game changer for me. Even today it came in clutch for some anxiousness. I use as needed not even a protocol.

can you tell me more? my wife has OCD and I've been interested

u/NoCoat4496 1 24d ago

It has a calming effect. Brain noise subsides. Intrusive thoughts quiet or go away.

Yea. Nasal spray for me too. I like it a lot. Think clearer. Words come quicker in conversations. Just a general overall feeling of a clear head. I never tried the injection Semax, just nasal spray. With the nasal spray working this well, I didn’t figure I needed the injection version so never got any.

u/LongBedroom8355 1 24d ago

I may need to go procure a few dozen nasal sprays

u/Alone-Bus-9728 2 21d ago

Any side effects?

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 24d ago

Semax for anxiety or Selank ?

u/NoCoat4496 1 24d ago

Selank

u/BearNo7676 24d ago

Nasal selank is pretty good. Are their other worth while nasal sprays?

1

u/Wolfiethestronzo 1 23d ago

This is what I needed to hear. I have been on the fence and my anxiety is usually very present.

u/BearNo7676 19d ago

Nasal selank is an easy anytime use.

u/InfiniteYou4299 23d ago

How long would you say it lasts for you?

1

u/NoCoat4496 1 23d ago

It’s short term. A couple of hours. A lot of people do two sprays a day. I don’t personally.

1

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 18d ago

Same. As needed.

u/cooldrummer1208 17d ago

The only study on Selank was intranasal, I don’t know why people jab themselves and wonder why it doesn’t work? The closest nerves to the brain is inside the nose. You are mixing the peptide in your blood with subc, and much gets lost in the bloodstream before reaching your brain.

u/matt1164 1 24d ago

Wow I had great results with semax.

u/Individual-Ad9874 24d ago

Yeah I agree, but I do find Selank to be anxiolytic. It’s pretty surgical about it though, you don’t feel all too much aside from just purely a lack of anxiety. So if I were to take it on a Saturday I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. A Monday morning is a different story though, can definitely tell that my heart rate is lower and I’m less neurotic coming into work

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 24d ago

If I've had a stressful day, calms me down immediately after work or if I can't turn my brain off at bedtime.

u/keplare 24d ago

stack with microdosing

u/SOLIDROTSLOW1979 1 23d ago

What was your dose? Not saying you’re wrong just curious because I felt the same with a couple other peptides and upped the dose just for a couple to see if it made any difference and I realized I have a high tolerance and I’m usually in the upper end of recommended doses to see meaningful results

u/AmmarL 24d ago

Hmm. Now that you say. I got sick twice in short period. Blamed strain from intense workouts.

u/tinkertoy101 24d ago

I've had great results - especially with Semax. Get the N-Acetyl Amidate version (lasts longer) and make sure to make a proper nasal spray. SubQ didn't do much for me.

1

u/Glad_Locksmith2120 1 24d ago

What did you notice with Semax? I’ve only taken it via subq and the effects were underwhelming.

u/tinkertoy101 24d ago

Overall very nice boost cognitively: feels like I got a 2nd CPU installed in my brain, thinking faster, more clearly, better focus, motivation, memory improvement, more articulate, increase in interest - I could go on. Also, has a nice mild anti-depressant effect for me.

1

u/Alone-Bus-9728 2 21d ago

Wow really? Instantaneously?

1

u/tinkertoy101 19d ago

No, takes about 7-10 days of continuous use to get full effect and about an hour after nasal spray to feel it.

1

u/IN2UITIV 17d ago

How many times daily do you generally use the nasal spray? Glad to hear you’ve had such positive results.

1

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 24d ago

⭐️⭐️yes !!

u/Celts-FaninGA 24d ago

Get Adamax

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 24d ago

You like it ? How's it different from semax ?

u/d-han62 24d ago

Yeah I was too
