SELANK

Selank is a powerful nootropic peptide with remarkable benefits for brain health and cognitive performance. Originally developed as an anti-anxiety treatment, Selank enhances mental clarity, focus, and memory while promoting a calm, balanced mood. It modulates the neurotransmitter GABA, reducing anxiety without causing sedation or dependence. Selank also boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting neuroplasticity and long-term brain resilience. Additionally, it improves immune regulation and may protect against neuroinflammation, a key factor in cognitive decline. With a strong safety profile and fast-acting effects, Selank is a valuable tool for enhancing brain function, emotional stability, and overall mental well-being.

Rare or Reported Reactions

Mood blunting in very sensitive individuals (rare)
Mild nausea (usually transient and dose-dependent)
Allergic reaction (rare – possible with preservatives or impurities in some products)

Unknown Long-Term Effects

Long-term human studies are limited, although no serious adverse effects have been reported
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to lack of safety data

Advantages Over Traditional Medications

Non-sedating
Non-addictive
No withdrawal symptoms
Safe for long-term use in most cases under medical guidance

Dosage

Standard Dosage (Intranasal – Most Common Route)

Dose:

250 mcg to 1 mg per dose
Most commonly: 500 mcg (0.5 mg) per dose

Frequency:

1–3 times daily, depending on individual needs
- 1x daily for general cognitive or anti-anxiety support
- 2–3x daily for acute stress, high mental load, or therapeutic effect

Cycle:

10–30 days on, followed by a 1–2 week break
Can be used longer-term with cycling to prevent desensitisation

Alternative Routes (Less Common)

Subcutaneous injection: 250–500 mcg 1–2x daily
(Less preferred due to excellent nasal bioavailability)

Tips for Effective Use

Administer on an empty stomach or at least 30 minutes away from food
Combine with Semax or nootropics (e.g., L-theanine, citicoline) for enhanced cognitive support
Store in the refrigerator (2–8°C) and avoid contamination of the nasal applicator
