What is Selank?
Research Focus: Neuro, Mood
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (7 amino acids) derived from the body's natural immunomodulatory peptide, tuftsin. It is studied for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and nootropic (cognitive-enhancing) effects.
At a Glance
Selank is believed to modulate the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and influence the metabolism of monoamines (like serotonin and dopamine). It also interacts with GABA receptors. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Selank
Selank is believed to modulate the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and influence the metabolism of monoamines (like serotonin and dopamine). It also interacts with GABA receptors.
How It Works
GABA Modulation
Interacts with the GABAergic system, producing a calming, anxiolytic effect without the sedative properties of traditional benzodiazepines.
BDNF Regulation
May increase BDNF, supporting neuroplasticity and cognitive function.
Current Research Insights
Non-Sedating Anxiolytic
Selank is highly researched for providing anxiety relief and mood stabilization while maintaining mental clarity and focus.
Areas of Study
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Investigated for reducing chronic anxiety and stress.
Cognitive Function
Studied for improving memory, attention, and focus.
Selank is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
- Available exclusively from authorized research suppliers
- Not FDA-approved for general therapeutic use
- Comprehensive safety, efficacy, and dosage guidelines remain under ongoing investigation
