What’s real vs. what’s marketed

These names come up in ads, forums, and seller pages around this theme. Seeing a name here does not mean it works, is safe, is legal to buy, or is right for you. In a session we compare what the evidence actually shows with what sellers claim. We do not prescribe, dose, or sell anything.

Semax

Popular in nootropic forums. We compare online claims with what the cited research actually examined—not a recommendation.

Selank

Often marketed with confident wellness language. We look at claim types and evidence gaps; care stays with licensed professionals.

NAD+

Reframed for “brain energy” in wellness ads. We separate the marketing from the questions worth asking a clinician.
