Semax and protein synthesis

For any /r/nootropics users who takes Semax and also frequent the gym. Have you noticed any possible synergistic effects? I'm asking this due to the fact that working out increases BDNF levels and Semax is known to drastically increase just that.

I think that's an inconclusive statement that people attribute from the fact that Semax is a adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH(4-10)) analog. I hear it MAY increase it but I also hear a lot of conflicting reports stating otherwise.
