Testing / Complete Hormone Panel

For Semax · Cognitive Support · Cortisol

The brain fog has a lab value. Find it.

Semax addresses cognitive impairment driven by cortisol dysregulation and gut-brain axis dysfunction. This panel identifies the specific inflammatory and hormonal pattern that makes Semax the indicated intervention — not a guess.

Why it matters

Three reasons this panel changes the conversation.

01

Elevated AM cortisol with hs-CRP is the Semax clinical signature

Semax is indicated for patients whose brain fog is driven by chronic cortisol elevation and systemic inflammation. This panel identifies both — elevated AM cortisol alongside hs-CRP above 1.0 mg/L — creating an objective clinical basis for the prescription.

02

Thyroid must be ruled out first

Hypothyroidism and cortisol dysregulation produce nearly identical brain fog presentations. TSH is the first marker to evaluate. When thyroid is normal and cortisol is elevated, the Semax indication becomes clear.

03

BDNF signalling requires the right hormonal context

Semax stimulates BDNF production — but testosterone and estradiol set the hormonal context for that signalling. A patient with low free testosterone alongside elevated cortisol is a candidate for both Semax and a hormone protocol. This panel identifies both simultaneously.

What's Included

Complete Hormone Panel — $249

hs-CRPSystemic inflammation that crosses the blood-brain barrier — Semax's primary target
Total TestosteroneTestosterone decline drives cognitive changes — Semax works upstream via BDNF
Free Testosterone (calc)Bioavailable testosterone — more relevant to cognitive function than total
SHBGHigh SHBG with low free T is the most common pattern in cognitive-complaint patients
EstradiolNeuroprotective in both sexes — low E2 accelerates cognitive decline
FSH / LHHPG axis — identifies whether testosterone is low due to upstream or downstream failure
hs-TSHHypothyroidism is the most common treatable cause of brain fog — must be ruled out first
AlbuminNutritional marker — low albumin correlates with cognitive decline and poor BDNF signalling
LDL / HDL / TriglyceridesLipid baseline — cardiovascular risk screen and inflammation context
PSAProstate safety screen — standard for male hormone-adjacent protocols

Common questions

Everything you should know before ordering.

When will Semax be available to prescribe?

Semax has cleared the major FDA regulatory hurdles. Dispensing is expected around October 2026. Testing now means your cortisol and hormonal baseline is established — your physician can write the prescription the day availability opens.

What cortisol level indicates Semax?

AM cortisol above 20–22 μg/dL alongside brain fog symptoms and elevated hs-CRP is the typical clinical pattern. Your physician interprets your value alongside the full panel — not as a single isolated marker.

Is there a connection between gut health and brain fog?

Yes — the gut-brain axis is well established. Patients with gut dysbiosis and brain fog are strong Semax candidates because the cognitive impairment may be driven by gut-derived systemic inflammation crossing the blood-brain barrier. The $399 package includes gut microbiome sequencing alongside these markers.

Is this panel HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes. Physician-ordered diagnostic testing is HSA and FSA eligible. At a 32% tax bracket, the effective cost is approximately $170.
