Cognitive
Adamax
Adamax is a synthetic peptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) designed for cognitive enhancement and neuroprotection. It modulates cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission, supporting memory formation and learning processes. Research interest centers on its potential to improve cognitive performance under stress and in age-related cognitive decline.
