Selank

Price range: $44.00 through $74.00 / 10 Vials

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide and a powerful derivative of the naturally occurring tetrapeptide Tuftsin. It is widely recognized in neurobiology research for its dual-action as an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and a nootropic (cognitive enhancer). Unlike traditional sedatives, Selank helps balance the central nervous system, reducing emotional tension while simultaneously improving mental clarity, focus, and memory retention.

Mechanism of Action

GABAergic Modulation: Selank enhances the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) by modulating its receptors, which helps quiet the overactive nervous system during stress.

Enkephalin Stabilization: It inhibits the enzymes that break down Enkephalins (natural "feel-good" peptides in the brain), effectively prolonging their calming and pain-relieving effects.

BDNF Regulation: Research suggests Selank can increase the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key protein involved in the survival and growth of neurons.

Immune-Brain Axis: Due to its Tuftsin-derived structure, it also influences the immune system by modulating interleukin levels, helping the body maintain homeostasis during periods of high physiological stress.

Storage & handling

Storage:Store the lyophilized vial in a cool, dry area protected from direct sunlight.
