Standard Dosage Range
Research dosing range: 100–500 mcg per dose (nasal spray)
Educational reference only
Dosage by Use Case
Cognitive Enhancement
2–8 weeks
Administered via nasal spray. Start at the low end of the range and titrate up as needed. Cycle with breaks to avoid tolerance.
Anxiety Reduction / Mood Support
2–6 weeks
Administered via nasal spray. May be more effective when combined with lifestyle interventions (exercise, meditation).
Focus & Attention
2–8 weeks
Administered via nasal spray. Optimal timing varies by individual; experiment with pre-work or pre-study dosing.
Neuroprotection
4-12 weeks
Nasal Spray. Experimental use only; long term use effects are unknown.
Timing & Frequency
Administer via nasal spray in the morning and/or early afternoon to avoid sleep disruption. The effects are typically felt within 30–60 minutes. Avoid use close to bedtime.
Cycle Guidance
User reports suggest cycling NASA to avoid tolerance, typically using a 4–8 week cycle followed by a 2–4 week break. As with all peptides, long-term human safety data is limited, so cycling is precautionary.
Reconstitution Reference
Quick reference for reconstituting N-Acetyl Semax Amidate. For custom vial sizes and concentrations, use the Reconstitution Calculator.
| Common Vial Size | Typically 10 mg per vial (lyophilized powder) |
| BAC Water Volume | 10 mL bacteriostatic water for 1 mg/mL concentration |
| Concentration & Draw | At 1 mg/mL: 200 mcg = 0.2 mL (20 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe). Dilute further in nasal spray bottle with saline solution. |
| Storage | Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution. Keep lyophilized powder at room temperature or refrigerated. |
| Stability | Reconstituted solution stable up to 30 days refrigerated. Lyophilized powder stable 12–24 months per manufacturer specifications. |
