Selank is a synthetic nootropic peptide derived from tuftin, a natural protein of the immune system. Developed in Russia, it is primarily used for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and cognitive-enhancing properties, without causing dependence or sedation like traditional benzodiazepines.
Main Benefits:
• Significant reduction of anxiety and stress without sedation.
• Improved mental clarity, focus, and concentration.
• Increased learning and memory capacity
• Modulation of neurotransmitters (GABA, serotonin, dopamine)
• Antidepressant effects and mood stabilization
• Increased emotional resilience and stress management
• Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties
• Elevated BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
• Neuroprotection and support for neuroplasticity
• It does not cause dependence, tolerance, or withdrawal syndrome.
Typical Dosages:
- Anxiety: 0.2-0.5 mg per day (subcutaneous)
- Cognitive Enhancement: 0.1-0.2 mg per day (subcutaneous)
- Nasal Spray: 1-3 sprays per day (0.6-1 mg)
- Cycle Protocol: 4-6 weeks ON, 2-4 weeks OFF
- Administration: Preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach.
Selank works through allosteric modulation of GABA-A receptors, positively influencing the expression of genes involved in neurotransmission. Its anxiolytic effects are comparable to benzodiazepines, but without the characteristic side effects (amnesia, dependence). Benefits manifest within 1-2 weeks, with more robust cognitive effects appearing in 4-6 weeks. It is frequently combined with Semax for nootropic synergy (Selank for calm + Semax for focus).
Important Note: Selank is clinically approved in Russia but not FDA approved. It is considered an investigational peptide in the US and Europe. Requires appropriate medical supervision.
