Russian vs. Chinese Semax
Original post in this thread

Recently I've purchased Semax from two different suppliers. The one on Amazon is directly from Russia and takes a ungodly amount of time to ship. The other is from Ceretropic. I contacted them and said all their semax comes from China, but is quality tested here in the US for purity. I've found that the Russian seams is noticeably more potent (even though the same dose). Makes me think the semax from China is total crap. Anyone have additional thoughts/insights?

So dumb. You know how many people every day tell us the opposite of OP? Do you think we sell thousands of units a month because it does not work well? Ours is tested against Sigma Aldrich's reference standard. I have the Russian ones here too. Our UK distributor sells them, and sent me some. More potent my ass.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Russia uses China for their synths too. R-Phenibut? That's made by a single Chinese lab with an exclusivity contract with the Russian company. I actually had friends in Russia and China investigate for me, to find out what lab was doing it. I would not be surprised if those Russian Semax drops had the peptide itself synthesized by a Chinese lab.
Regardless, the country the lab is located in does not matter. Only whether the peptide is the correct sequence and pure. Nobody has even tested those Russian ones. You know what, I am going to run some purity testing on them.
