SELANK is a synthetic neuropeptide nootropic derived from Tuftsin, a natural peptide involved in immune modulation. Originally developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics (Russian Academy of Sciences) as a non-sedating anxiolytic, SELANK has since been studied for its broad neuroprotective, cognitive, and immune-regulating properties.
How SELANK Works
Neurotransmitter Modulation - SELANK enhances serotonin, dopamine, and GABA balance—improving mood, focus, and reducing anxiety without sedation. It also regulates norepinephrine, supporting mental resilience under stress. Its anxiolytic effect has been shown to be comparable to benzodiazepines, but without the side effects or dependency risk.
BDNF Expression & Neuroplasticity - SELANK increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key protein for learning, memory, and neural regeneration, making it effective during burnout, emotional fatigue, or post-illness recovery .Immune and Inflammatory Balance -As a Tuftsin analog, SELANK also modulates the immune system—reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha, while supporting antiviral defenses. This makes it especially useful during chronic stress, fatigue syndromes, or overtraining recovery.
What Makes SELANK Unique
- Targets GABA, serotonin, and dopamine systems simultaneously
- Fast-acting, non-sedating anxiolytic with no dependency risk
- Enhances mental clarity, stress adaptation, and immune function
- Delivered via nasal spray or subcutaneous injection for rapid CNS effects
Ideal for individuals facing burnout, anxiety, cognitive fatigue, or immunosuppression under chronic stress.
