No independent test of Nootropic Source's Semax yet
- Nootropic Source carries a certificate-integrity flag on record — treat its claims with extra caution.
- Semax generally tests around 99.4% purity across 6 independent certificates — but from other makers, so treat it as a benchmark, not proof of this seller's stock.
- Price sits within the normal range for Semax — no cheap-fake red flag.
How to verify this yourself
To verify before you buy: ask Nootropic Source for the Janoshik COA for your batch number, then paste it into Verify — VialGrade confirms it's a real, unedited lab record.

Real $/active mg divides the price-per-mg by the measured purity — the honest cost of the actual peptide, so a 90%-pure vial isn’t compared as if it were 99%. Too cheap? flags a listing far below the market rate — often underdosing or a fake, not a deal. The crown marks the cheapest non-outlier; best value marks the lowest real cost per active mg.
Understand this compound
What is Semax?
Widely studieda.k.a. SemaxA Russian nootropic peptide studied in focus, memory, and neuroprotection research. Often paired with Selank.
Good to know: Regulatory approval and most clinical data are confined to Russia and published largely in Russian-language journals, limiting independent verification by Western standards.
How does Semax work?
A synthetic ACTH(4-10) fragment analog that upregulates BDNF/NGF expression via CREB pathway activation and modulates dopaminergic and serotonergic signaling.
Mechanism of action from published research — how the molecule behaves, not a claim about any product or any human-use effect.
What is Semax researched for?
Studied for cognitive enhancement, ischemic stroke recovery, and general neuroprotection.
- Cognitive & moodStudied in memory, focus, mood, and neuroprotection research.
How far has the research gone?
Widely studied — approved as a prescription drug in Russia/CIS for stroke and age-related cognitive decline since the early 2000s, but never evaluated in large randomized Western trials.
Where the science stands — an approved drug is not the same as the research-grade material a vendor sells, which is unregulated regardless.
What is Semax commonly stacked with?
Compounds the research community frequently discusses alongside Semax. Not a protocol or a recommendation — a map of what to read about next.
What should I check before buying?
- Independent purity. Look for a third-party COA (Janoshik or MZ) showing a measured purity — not just a number the vendor typed.
- Batch match. The strongest evidence is a certificate for the exact batch you’ll receive, attributed to this vendor — check the cross-verification on the listing.
- Vendor reputation. See how the vendor is talked about in the community before trusting a new name.
Research context only — VialGrade never gives dosing, medical, or human-use guidance.
The lab evidence
What we could verify
Each row answers a different question. Passing the identity test doesn’t mean it’s sterile or correctly dosed — we show each answer separately.
Identity — independent test
UnknownNo independent third-party COA is advertised or on record for this listing.
Measured purity (HPLC)
UnknownNo independent purity figure is on record for this listing.
Batch traceability
UnknownNo specific batch on this listing has been matched to an independent record.
Sterility & endotoxin
Not testedA purity COA does not measure sterility or endotoxins — no such test is on record.
Dose / fill accuracy
UnknownVialGrade does not independently measure vial fill or delivered dose.
These certificates are for Semax across every maker VialGrade tracks — not necessarily Nootropic Source’s own stock. This listing’s specific evidence is the matrix above.
Independent testing
Independent lab tests on record for Semax
Real, publicly verifiable third-party tests. Purity is read from the certificate itself. A test reflects one lab’s result for one submitted batch — not a guarantee that every vial matches.
How does this data get here?
Every record below is a real certificate of analysis, gathered two ways: from the public verification feeds that independent labs (like Janoshik) publish, and from the certificates vendors post on their own product pages. We open each certificate document and read the measured purity, content, batch, and date directly off it — a scraper can’t read a number printed inside an image, so this is done by machine vision, then recorded here with a link back to the original.
Nothing here is typed in by a vendor or invented by us. Where a certificate is missing, we say so rather than filling the gap.
We re-check the lab feed, too. A “still listed” tag means the certificate is currently public in Janoshik’s database — we re-verify against the live feed and stamp the date. If a cert is later pulled, the tag flips. It’s a freshness check on the same source, not a second independent opinion.
What a certificate does & doesn’t prove
Three different questions. Purity (“how clean?”), identity (“is it the right molecule?”, a mass-spec test), and content (“did I get the labeled mg?”) are separate. A vial can be 99% pure and still be the wrong peptide, or the right peptide underdosed. We flag the measured dose against the label above; underdosing is the most common real fraud.
Who submitted the sample matters. Most of these are vendor-submitted — the seller chose which vial to send, so one good certificate doesn’t prove every batch is the same. The gold standard is a blind test, where a buyer sends a vial they bought as a normal customer. Same label doesn’t prove same product; same batch number doesn’t prove same batch.

No test for this vendor — but Semax is independently characterized
This vendor doesn't advertise independent testing, and we hold no COA tied to Nootropic Source specifically. We do hold 6 independent certificates for Semax (median 99.4% purity) from other makers — real market context for what this compound tests at, though not proof of this vendor's product.
- This vendor. No third-party COA on record for Nootropic Source.
- Semax (market-wide). 6 independent COAs, median 99.4%.
Cross-checks the vendor’s testing claim against independent lab records. Purity is read from the lab's certificate as issued — VialGrade doesn't re-run the assay or sample the vial. It reflects one lab's result for one submitted batch, not every vial. Never a statement that a product is safe, sterile, or correctly dosed.
Research-use-only — not FDA-approved
Sold “for research use only,” this compound is not FDA-approved for human use and has not been evaluated for safety, purity, or sterility in people. It is generally not a scheduled controlled substance, so buying it as a research chemical is typically not itself a drug crime — but marketing or using it as a drug is not lawful, and it is not a dietary supplement.
