1Overview
“A calmer focus window on Semax/Selank days and a slower "hardware" course from Cerluten + Ventfort + Svetinorm. Dihexa is experimental. We do not sell a Neuro 3 Plus bottle here; we map the three leaves.”
Ideal Candidates
Contraindications
2The Science
Atlas frames cognition as supply (Ventfort), tissue (Cerluten), and clearance (Svetinorm), then BDNF-leaning peptides (Semax), anxiolytic GABA/enkephalin tone (Selank), then growth-factor mimetics (Dihexa). That hierarchy is a useful teaching model. It is not a diagnosis, and it is not a license to run Dihexa continuously.
3Clinical Evidence
Key Findings
Semax has Russian clinical use and BDNF-related mechanistic papers; Western RCTs for "biohacking IQ" do not exist at that marketing grade
Selank has anxiolytic literature in Russian populations; stacking with Semax is community practice
Dihexa synaptogenesis potency claims are preclinical, not a human cognitive indication
Study Limitations
- ⚠Neuro 3 Plus is a vendor bundle name. We link the three peptides, not a SKU.
- ⚠Citicoline, polygala, and 4-DMA-7,8-DHF are not in this library. We do not invent product pages for them.
- ⚠Dihexa is not a beginner compound.
3The Peptide Stack
Cerluten
View Profile →Brain cytomax. The "Cerluten" leaf of the Neuro 3 triad.
Mechanism: CNS cytamine complex; oral capsules, empty stomach.
Ventfort
View Profile →Cerebral perfusion support in the same triad.
Mechanism: Vascular cytomax; oral.
Svetinorm
View Profile →Hepatic cytomax. Atlas includes liver support so metabolic junk is not the silent variable.
Mechanism: Liver cytamine complex; oral.
Semax
View Profile →ACTH(4-10) analog used for BDNF-leaning focus. Typical community: 10-18 days on, long off.
Mechanism: Intranasal or SubQ; not a daily forever nootropic.
Selank
View Profile →Tuftsin analog for "calm focus" rather than stimulation.
Mechanism: Often stacked with Semax; same cycle discipline.
Dihexa
View Profile →HGF/c-Met mimetic from Washington State work. Preclinical synaptogenesis claims. Advanced only.
Mechanism: Potent growth-factor signaling; theoretical proliferation risk. Short cycles if used at all.
4Protocol Tiers
Tier 1: Neuro 3 leaves
Cerluten + Ventfort + Svetinorm as swallowed capsules, empty stomach. This is the maintenance triad.
Tier 2: Semax + Selank
Acute nootropic block. Weekend washout of the synthetics is a common pattern; keep the cytomax course if you are mid-cycle.
Tier 3: Dihexa (experimental)
Advanced users only. Do not stack with other aggressive growth-factor mimetics without a physician who actually knows the compound.
5Lifestyle Integration
Peptides are one input in a larger system. Without these non-negotiable lifestyle factors, even the best protocol will underperform.
🏋️Training
Zone 2 plus some skill work. Cognition stacks do not replace sleep debt from night training.
🥗Nutrition
Protein and omega-3s for membranes. Choline sources if you run acetylcholine-heavy days. We do not stock Cognizin as a peptide leaf.
🌙Sleep
Selank is not a DSIP replacement. Protect the sleep window or Semax will feel like jitter.
🧘Stress Management
If the problem is burnout and dopamine flattening, the dopamine-reset protocol is the better first page.
6Timeline & Expectations
Days 1-7
Days 10-18
Weeks 4-6
7Monitoring & Safety
Key Metrics to Track
Troubleshooting
Wired but tired
- Semax too late in the day
- Caffeine stacked on top
- Morning-only Semax
- Cut caffeine 50% on cycle days
No subjective change on cytomax
- Wrong expectation
- Course shorter than 3 weeks
- Judge cytomax over a full course, not day 2
- Do not escalate to Dihexa to "feel something"
