Anxiety/Depression

Selank

Selank

Selank is a modified version of the naturally occurring tetrapeptide Tuftsin, which plays an essential role in the immune system’s regulation. Tuftsin is a peptide closely related to immune function. It occurs naturally and makes up one part of the natural antibody IgG. Selank has been shown to enhance cognitive function, reduce anxiety and stress, improve mood and sleep, and boost the immune response.

One of the primary benefits of using Selank peptide is its ability to reduce anxiety and stress levels. By stimulating GABA receptors, Selank may promote relaxation and calmness while reducing tension and restlessness. Additionally, it helps regulate cortisol levels in the body, which are responsible for inducing stress responses. It also increases the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which can also have an anti-anxiety benefit. As a result, users can experience improved mental clarity and focus while feeling more relaxed overall.  

Potential Side Effects

Up until now, research on Selank exhibits minimal side effects. However, nausea, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia and muscle cramps have been reported. 

Clinical trials have shown that Selank is similar to tranquilizers at low doses but without the unwanted side effects of tranquilizers, such as amnesia, withdrawal, and dependence.

Potential Benefits

One of the most well-known uses for Selank is as an anti-anxiety medication. Research has shown that Selank can help reduce anxiety by boosting levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. These neurotransmitters are often called “feel-good” chemicals because they are key in regulating mood and emotions. By increasing levels of these chemicals, Selank may help promote feelings of calmness and relaxation while reducing symptoms of anxiety. Selank has since been used for a wide range of conditions, including depression, ADHD, and PTSD.
