"Semax intranasal, does the timing actually matter as much as people claim?"

Ok so i have been messing around with Semax for a few weeks now, mostly the standard nasal spray dose, and i keep seeing people argue about whether you HAVE to take it 20-30 mins before deep work or if just doing it whenever is fine. I have tried both and honestly for me the timing thing feels overblown, but i am also the type where i don't always notice subtle stuff right away 😅

What i do notice is that on days i take it on an empty nose (like not right after coffee or food), it seems to hit cleaner. Less of that wired-but-tired feeling. And on days i stack it with a morning workout i feel like the focus carries into the afternoon way better, whereas desk-only days it kind of fades by 3pm and i get a bit irritable.

Also curious if anyone has tried pairing it with a tiny bit of methylene blue for the mitochondrial angle? I keep reading about that combo and it makes me a bit giddy ngl, the BDNF plus cellular energy thing sounds almost too good. But i want to hear from anyone actually doing it before i add anything new.

How are you guys timing yours? And does the empty nose thing hold up for you or am i imagining it ⚡
