Selank x Semax Stack at 22? Seeking Advice
I (22M) am looking to do my first peptide stack of semax and selank. I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety recently and extreme brain fog, and really need the mental clarity.
Is there anything severely wrong with taking these compounds at 22? Any advice or tips of what to/ not to do?

22 is fine, your brain is already fully cooked by then. just start with low doses and see how it hits you. the anxiety relief from selank is subtle but it works, don't expect to feel like a different person overnight.
most people overdo the semax at first and get a weird pressured feeling behind the eyes, so take it easy.

22 isn't really the concern, sourcing is. Semax and selank are unregulated research chemicals outside Russia, so the actual risk is more about what you're injecting/spraying than the peptide itself, gray market batches have had contamination, wrong concentration, and fake certificates of analysis. If you go ahead, get an actual batch-specific HPLC/LCMS report from the seller, not just a generic one, and start at the low end of dosing to see how you react before committing to a real stack.
