How It Works
Selank modulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and influences serotonergic and GABAergic systems. It enhances the stability of enkephalins in the brain, producing anxiolytic effects. It also modulates IL-6 expression and has immunomodulatory properties.
Key Research Findings
- Demonstrated anxiolytic effects comparable to benzodiazepines without sedation
- Research shows improved memory, learning, and cognitive function
- Shown to increase BDNF expression, supporting neuroplasticity
- Immunomodulatory effects with potential antiviral properties
Common Research Protocols
Research Dosing Range
Typically administered intranasally at 250–500 mcg 1–2 times daily. Subcutaneous dosing at 250–500 mcg is also studied. Beginners start at 250 mcg once daily. Effects are typically noticeable within the first week. Cycles run 2–4 weeks with a break between.

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute Selank for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
