What It Is
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin with anxiolytic and nootropic properties. Originally developed and extensively studied in Russia, this peptide is recognized for supporting healthy mood and cognitive function without sedation.
How It Works
Selank acts through multiple mechanisms including GABA and dopamine modulation, while also supporting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). It reduces stress-induced anxiety while preserving cognitive function, working through both central and peripheral nervous system pathways.
