Overview
Focus Dissolving Strips place three separately studied compounds into a single pre-measured thin-film matrix: the heptapeptide Semax, the coenzyme NAD+, and the phenothiazinium dye methylene blue. Each pack holds 30 strips. The film is a water-soluble polymer sheet carrying a fixed load per strip, so a study arm can be built by counting strips rather than weighing three separate materials, calculating three dilutions and reconciling them into one vehicle.
The three actives sit at different points of the same broad research question — what limits sustained cognitive performance at the cellular level. Semax (CAS 80714-61-0, Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic ACTH(4–10) analogue studied through BDNF and NGF expression and attention paradigms. NAD+ (CAS 53-84-9) is the pyridine dinucleotide coenzyme at the centre of mitochondrial redox chemistry and the consumed substrate of sirtuins and PARPs. Methylene blue (CAS 61-73-4) is a redox-cycling dye examined in mitochondrial electron-transport research as an alternative electron carrier at low concentrations.
Combining a neuropeptide, a redox coenzyme and a redox-active dye in one film gives investigators a single article that touches signalling, cofactor availability and electron transport simultaneously — useful as an exploratory arm, though studies isolating any one contribution need the single-compound formats. All raw materials are third-party HPLC tested at ≥99% purity with a lot-matched COA. Supplied for laboratory research use only.

Questions about Focus Dissolving Strips (Semax · NAD+ · Methylene Blue)
What is in each strip?
Three actives in one water-soluble film: Semax, a synthetic ACTH(4–10) heptapeptide analogue; NAD+, the pyridine dinucleotide coenzyme; and methylene blue, a phenothiazinium redox dye. The load per strip is fixed at manufacture, so it cannot be varied without moving to single-compound formats.
How many strips come in a pack?
Thirty pre-measured film strips per sealed pack. Because the amount per strip is set, study arms are assembled by counting strips rather than weighing three separate materials and reconciling three dilutions into a single vehicle.
Are the components third-party tested with a COA?
Yes. Each raw material is third-party analysed by HPLC to ≥99% purity with identity confirmation, and a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis is available for the batch you receive. Match the pack lot number to the COA before recording any results.
Why does the film stain?
Methylene blue is a strongly coloured dye, which is what gives the strips their tint. It stains skin, gloves, fabric and bench surfaces on contact with moisture, so handle strips with dry gloves over a protected surface and clean spills with water before the dye sets.
Do the strips require reconstitution?
No. The film dissolves directly in aqueous media, so there is no weighing, solvent addition, mixing or filtration step and no bacteriostatic water to source. The sealed pack also needs no cold chain, unlike lyophilized vials or pre-mixed solutions.
Can this isolate the effect of one component?
No — a fixed three-component film cannot attribute an observed change to any one active. It works as an exploratory arm. Studies needing attribution should run Semax, NAD+ and methylene blue in single-compound formats alongside the combined strips.
