Description
Selank is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring peptide tuftsin, and has garnered attention for its anxiolytic effects that make it an anti-anxiety peptide. Clinical studies have shown that Selank exerts a positive influence on the GABA neurotransmitter system, akin to the mechanism of action seen in benzodiazepines, yet without the unwanted side effects typically associated with these drugs. Selank’s ability to modulate serotonin and dopamine levels further contributes to its mood-enhancing properties, making it related to the drug Semax.
Beyond its mental health applications, Selank peptide has been shown to play important roles throughout the body, including in immune function. Its unique blend of anxiolytic, antidepressant, and neurotrophic properties, coupled with its role in increasing the expression of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), makes it a promising candidate for a range of cognitive and psychological conditions.
For Selank in its injectable form, a common dosage is 250-500 mcg per day. Injections are typically subcutaneous (under the skin). The injectable form is usually administered once or twice daily, depending on the individual’s response. When using injections, precise dosing is crucial and should be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Doses should be measured carefully, and sterile techniques must be used to prevent infection.
