Selank
Mechanism
A synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Reduces anxiety through GABA modulation, enhances cognitive function, and stabilizes mood without sedation. Developed alongside Semax at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Moscow.
Typical dose
250-500mcg per day intranasal
Cycle length
14-21 days on, 7-14 days off
Form
Intranasal spray
Where to source it
The hard part with Selank isn't the protocol. It's finding a supplier that can prove what's in the vial. We assessed dozens against per-batch, third-party testing. A handful passed.
