Semax Price in the UAE: Synthesis, Purity and Cost per mg (2026)

The Semax price in the UAE reflects a seven-residue peptide with a methionine at its start and a designed Pro-Gly-Pro tail, so the fair comparison is cost per measured milligram on a batch report, with UAE delivery from SHLabz at AED 15, or free over AED 350.

Semax is a heptapeptide: seven amino acids, built on a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). That puts it between a very short peptide such as Epithalon, at four residues, and a longer one such as MOTS-c, at sixteen. The length is moderate, but one residue in particular, methionine, needs careful handling from synthesis to storage, and that care is part of what you pay for.

This guide explains what sets the price of Semax, how to compare the vial and the nasal spray on an honest per-milligram basis, and which delivery and payment terms change the total in the UAE. We do not quote product prices here, because they change. Instead, the current price is on the Semax product page.

Quick answer: The Semax price in the UAE depends on vial size, measured content, purity, format and delivery. Divide the price by the measured milligrams on the batch report, and compare vials with vials and sprays with sprays. SHLabz delivers in the UAE for AED 15, free over AED 350, same-day in standard zones for orders before 12:00 (next day after 12:00).

What Semax Is, Chemically

Semax has the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro (MEHFPGP), molecular formula C37H51N9O10S, molecular weight 813.9 g/mol and CAS number 80714-61-0, according to PubChem. It is described as a synthetic analogue of ACTH(4-10).

The first four residues, Met-Glu-His-Phe, match positions 4 to 7 of ACTH. The last three are where Semax was designed: its alternative name, (Pro8,Gly9,Pro10)ACTH-(4-10), records that positions 8 to 10 were replaced with Pro-Gly-Pro. Our Semax research guide explains why that tail was added, and how it relates to the stability of the fragment.

Why Methionine Matters for the Price

The single sulfur atom in the formula belongs to methionine, and methionine can oxidise to methionine sulfoxide. That can happen during synthesis, during purification, or later if powder or solution is handled carelessly. An oxidised chain is still a seven-residue peptide, so it can sit close to the main peak unless the HPLC method separates it. Keeping that by-product low takes clean reagents, careful drying and a sealed, dark vial, and all of that carries cost.

Identity by Mass

Mass spectrometry compares the observed mass with the expected 813.9 g/mol. Oxidation adds one oxygen atom, so an oxidised chain reads about 16 Da heavier, and a missing residue reads lighter. So identity testing, not purity alone, is what confirms you are paying for intact Semax.

The Factors Behind the Semax Price in the UAE

• Vial size. SHLabz lists Semax in a 10 mg vial, so size comparisons should start there.
• Measured content. The mass a laboratory actually found, which may differ from the label.
• Net peptide. Freeze-dried powder also holds counter-ions and a little residual water, as our counter-ions guide explains.
• Purity. The HPLC main peak as a share of all peaks, including any oxidised form.
• Format. A nasal spray carries solution, bottle and cold-chain costs that a sealed vial does not.

Calculating the Semax Price per mg in the UAE

The figures below are invented round numbers in plain units, for illustration only; none is a SHLabz price.

• Headline. A 10 mg vial at 120 units works out at 12 per mg.
• Purity. At 98% purity, it holds 9.8 mg of target peptide, so about 12.2 per mg.
• Content. If the report measures 9.6 mg, divide by 9.6 instead: 12.5 per mg.
• Delivery. Add any delivery fee before dividing. Over AED 350 in the UAE, there is none.

Put simply, compare suppliers at the same step, with both sides describing the same material.

Semax Price in the UAE by Format

SHLabz lists Semax in two formats, and they are priced for different kinds of work.

• Vial. Semax as lyophilised powder in a sealed 10 mg vial, stable at room temperature while dry and dark.
• Nasal spray. The Semax nasal spray holds 10 mg in 7 ml, supplied pre-mixed, so it is kept at 2–8 °C from arrival and ships within the UAE only.

The vial gives the cleanest cost per milligram. By contrast, the spray’s price includes the solution, the bottle and the cold handling, and a methionine-containing peptide in solution needs that cold handling more than dry powder does. So compare the spray with other sprays rather than with powder. Bacteriostatic water is sold separately in 3 ml and 10 ml vials, so include it if your lab needs it for the vial.

What the Literature Studies

Semax was developed in Russia, where it is a prescription medicine and was placed on the Russian List of Vital and Essential Drugs approved on 7 December 2011. It is not approved by the US FDA and has not been evaluated or marketed in most other countries.

Much of the published research is laboratory and animal work. For example, a 2006 study in Brain Research by Dolotov and colleagues examined how Semax affected BDNF and trkB expression in the rat hippocampus. So SHLabz supplies Semax for laboratory research only, and makes no claim about any human use. Our peptide glossary explains the terms used in papers like this one.

Delivery on Top of the Semax Price in the UAE

SHLabz charges AED 15 to deliver anywhere in the UAE, and nothing on orders over AED 350. Orders placed before 12:00 UAE time on a working day arrive the same day in our standard delivery zones, and orders placed after 12:00 arrive the next day. Remote areas take 1–3 working days. We process orders Monday to Friday, except on UAE public holidays.

Cold Chain for Vial and Spray

Every UAE order travels in an insulated pouch with frozen gel packs. The sealed vial does not strictly need it, but the spray does, because it holds a solution that belongs at 2–8 °C. Dubai’s mean daily maximum is 42.1 °C in August, with humidity around 53%, so collect any parcel containing a spray promptly and refrigerate it on arrival. Our storage guide covers both formats.

Semax Outside the UAE

Semax vials ship to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan in 2–4 working days, for AED 60 or free over AED 2,500. The nasal spray stays in the UAE. Import requirements and duties are the recipient’s responsibility.

From Order to Door in the UAE

1. Choose the format. First, decide between vial and spray, and compare like with like.
2. Ask for the report. Next, request the certificate for the batch you will receive and note purity and measured content.
3. Order before noon. Then place the order before 12:00 on a working day for same-day delivery in standard zones; after 12:00 it arrives the next day.
4. Pay. After that, choose card, Apple Pay, Tamara, crypto, or cash or card on delivery.
5. Receive. Match the batch number on the vial or spray to its report.
6. Store. Finally, refrigerate the spray at once and keep sealed vials dry and dark.

Paying the Semax Price in the UAE

UAE orders can be paid by card, Apple Pay, Tamara, cryptocurrency, or cash or card on delivery. Tamara is available in the UAE and Saudi Arabia and spreads the total without changing it. In addition, optional shipping protection costs AED 24.99 plus 5% of the order value, unticked unless you choose it.

Regulation Behind the Semax Price in the UAE

Federal Decree-Law No. 38 of 2024 governs medical products and pharmaceutical establishments in the UAE, and it took effect on 2 January 2025. The Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) is the federal body that acts on unapproved medicines. In July 2026, the EDE acted against 71 sources selling unapproved peptide products and referred 14 influencers to the National Media Office.

A “research use only” label describes presentation, not registration, and a Russian registration does not make a research vial a registered medicine in the UAE. So a Semax listing that promises cognitive or mood outcomes is a warning sign at any price. Our article on whether research peptides are legal covers the wider position.

Reading One Certificate

An independent laboratory tests each SHLabz batch. The report for the Semax batch you receive is available on request through our contact page, and our lab results page lists the reports we currently publish. For a worked example, take our GHK-Cu 100 mg batch SHCU100-082026: HPLC purity 99.713%, analysed by Janoshik Analytical on 25 August 2026, measured content 86.10 mg.

So for that vial, the honest divisor is 86.10 mg, not 100. Apply the same rule to Semax: divide by the measured content on your batch’s report, and check that the identity result matches 813.9 g/mol rather than an oxidised form. Our HPLC guide and certificate guide explain each line.

A Semax Price Checklist for the UAE

1. No report. First, a price without a batch report is a price for an unknown.
2. No identity test. Next, without mass spec, an oxidised or truncated chain can pass as Semax.
3. No measured content. The label weight is not the mass in the vial.
4. No named laboratory. An unnamed test cannot be verified.
5. Spray compared with powder. Then check that you are comparing the same format.
6. Warm storage. A spray that sat unrefrigerated has been exposed to the conditions methionine dislikes.
7. Blank labels. Every vial and spray should carry its name and batch.
8. Outcome claims. Finally, cognitive or performance promises are a reason to walk away.
