Primary Description
The Neuro Stack (Semax + Selank) plus DSIP for delta-wave sleep. Slow-wave deep sleep (SWS) is critical for memory consolidation, the glymphatic system (brain waste clearance), and complete neural repair.
Demonstrated Effects
- BDNF
- Sleep
- Glymphatic
- Neuroprotection
Proposed Mechanisms of Action
Combined Mechanism
Semax upregulates BDNF in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, enhancing memory, attention, and neuroplasticity. It protects neurons against hypoxia and oxidative stress via HSP70 induction and NF-κB modulation. Selank modulates GABAergic tone for anxiolytic effect without sedation, and stabilizes enkephalin degradation for mood regulation. DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) activates GABA-B and delta-opioid receptors to promote slow-wave sleep, reduces allostatic stress biomarkers, and exerts direct neuroprotective effects against oxidative neuronal damage. The triad delivers: cognitive enhancement + anxiolysis + deep sleep restoration + neuroprotection from oxidative stress.
