Semax is a heptapeptide, a synthetic of an adrenocorticotropic hormone. It is a quintessential smart drug in that it fires up cognition, delivering clarity.

So it will help you work smarter rather than harder, which sometimes is exactly what we need.

This is an Interferon immune-hack and anti-viral that you take nasally, as drops, or ointment.

Immune hacks are deservedly on the radar of sapient biohackers. It shouldn't replace Vitamin D3 in your medicine cabinet, but tools like this have a place in the bio-prepper's armamentarium.

Let's dispense with the stereotypes first...

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian businessmen had a well-deserved reputation for shady dealings. I wouldn't blame anyone for being a little skeptical of buying Nootropics or anti-aging medicines from a Russian source. But that was 30 years ago; times have changed, and now, frankly, you should be skeptical of everyone. Government regulating agencies like the FDA are hopelessly corrupt and captured by big pharma, which is probably sponsoring your family doctor's next luxurious vacation. The internet is a double-edged sword when it comes to your health; Amazon sells "health" supplements tainted with catastrophic amounts of toxic heavy metals, but the internet also gives you an unparalleled ability to sniff out the scams and figure out what actually works.

I had experimented with Noopept on its own as a smart drug in the past and had honestly been a bit underwhelmed by it. It's back on my radar since I started experimenting with some genuine Noopept that was sent to me by RUPharma in Moscow.

I dived back in and evaluated recent research from both institutions and (debatably more importantly) the Biohacker community...

A Full-Spectrum Anti-viral and Remdesivir Alternative?

Cycloferon is a notable immune-boosting medicine and interferon hack that's come on my radar in the course of my research into COVID-19 treatments.

It's a direct anti-viral that blocks the reproduction of the viral infection, and to this effect, it's fast-acting; its treatment course is between several days to a week, so you'll know quickly if it's working for you.

The caviar of Neurotrophic Nootropics for boundless BDNF and never-ending nerve growth.

Cerebrolysin's primary clinical purpose is the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, but as any informed Biohacker knows, few drugs are designed for the specific purpose of upgrading performance in otherwise healthy people. In this regard, Cerebrolysin has a similar research profile to other popular smart drugs I'm well acquainted with...

Bioregulatory Peptides are a novel class of medicine that hack our biology on the genetic level.

I say novel because they are a relatively recent development and have been thus far not largely acknowledged and studied by the Western medicinal establishment. For those looking for healing solutions outside the mainstream offerings of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, these peptides are worth learning about.

Skulachev Ions (or SKQ1) are smart antioxidants; smart because they specifically target the Mitochondria that actually need them.

This makes SKQ1 a very potent, economical, and safe anti-aging agent, I'll make the case in this article that it's the cutting-edge anti-aging innovation of tomorrow.

Phenibut has a special relationship with the GABA receptors; it's a purveyor of a tranquil and euphoric mind that you can use to replace a social drinking habit for about a dollar a night.

Another Russian Racetam, derived from the Czar of Nootropics Piracetam. It's regarded as the mathematician's smart drug for the powers of cognition it stimulates.
