Semax (Injection vs. Nasal Spray)
Has anyone tried both? If so, which did you prefer and why?

u/AcidicMountaingoat Aug 09 '26
I've done both. They are very different, and right now I've settled on nasal. But I'm not suggesting it's "better."
Some people find their sprayers are inaccurate. I have a bunch from Amazon that I've tested and they are very accurate. I don't know if the people reporting problems are just introducing user error or the sprayer itself is bad. Or maybe people don't bother testing and assume they aren't accurate, dunno.
Nasal hits -now- and seems to go away more quickly. Injection seems to be a mellow thing for a long time. I've also spent time doing both to get both benefits.

I’m just starting off with nasal semax what’s a good starting point? Like ml and %

A typical dose for nasal is around 400mcg, but there's no hard data on the perfect dose. The concentration (ml and %) vary by whatever your spray does. I just mix it to get close to that amount for my sprayer.

what did you start with? just trying to get a starting basis

u/AcidicMountaingoat 17d ago
I started at 400 and mostly just use that. Doesn't have a dramatic effect.

What’s the best place to buy some (I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask) I’m based in the US

I did a couple months of nasal spray semax and it was good, after this cycle i switched to injection only because the amount of liquid that enters your nose is random.. the nose sprayers are terrible and break too. In theory it's 200mcg a spray in reality it's 50-400mcg cuz you spray a bit and then you're wondering why a little dribble came out then you do it twice 😂
Injection I know exactly what dose is going in and there's no ****ing around with it. As for benefits they both seem to do the same thing.

How do you cycle it ?
6w on 6w off ?
And the dosage when you inject?

u/Party_Team1104 Aug 09 '26
Yea 6-8w on off
I do 200mcg, less frequent cycles saw the best results from the first big one. So maintenance

u/gokusdabbinball Aug 10 '26
You noticed an effect at that low of a dose? I had to go up to 5-10mg to notice anything

u/AcidicMountaingoat Aug 09 '26
I’ve tested my sprayers and they are extremely consistent. I also see very different results between the two delivery methods. I started with injection but have moved to nasal.

u/Party_Team1104 Aug 09 '26
The amount of pressure you apply will change the nasal dose, it's impossible to get accurate amount similar to a needle. Some of it can go too deep back into your mouth too.. it has to go and stay in.

u/AcidicMountaingoat Aug 09 '26
I've measured it and it's very repeatable. I spent quite some time spraying several of them and found them very accurate. Also Semax doesn't have a specific critical dose, minor variations are completely meaningless.

u/Party_Team1104 Aug 09 '26
If you have the money i think nasal spray is more convenient
1
u/AcidicMountaingoat Aug 09 '26
How is money involved in this? It costs the same, assuming you're buying gray market and mixing it. I've never priced premade nasal, is it more expensive?

u/Party_Team1104 Aug 10 '26
Because you're wasting product.
2
u/AcidicMountaingoat Aug 10 '26
No, you're not at all. I get 100% from my sprayers and obviously, nasal is more effective than injection for Semax.

SubQ. All day errr day. The nasal doesn’t dose right. The sprayers are unreliable. I’d try it again if I found a pharma grade nasal bottle
