Key Research Areas:
- Anxiolytic and Mood Regulation
Selank exhibits strong anxiolytic and antidepressant-like properties without sedation. Clinical and animal studies indicate it modulates GABAergic receptor activity and serotonin metabolism, reducing anxiety and improving emotional stability under stress.
- Cognitive Function and Memory Support
In animal models, Selank enhances learning, memory retention, and attention—particularly under stress or withdrawal conditions—by regulating neuropeptide and neurotransmitter balance. Its effects are linked to modulation of GABA and serotonin pathways.
- Neurotransmitter System Modulation
Selank influences key neurotransmitter systems, including GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. It alters expression of genes involved in neurotransmission and may inhibit enkephalin-degrading enzymes, enhancing natural neuropeptide activity and promoting calm focus.
- Gene Expression and Neuroplasticity
Studies demonstrate Selank alters expression of genes related to neuroplasticity and neurotransmission in the frontal cortex and hippocampus, suggesting long-term regulation of neural adaptation and stress response mechanisms.
- Immune System and Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Derived from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, Selank normalizes cytokine balance and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) while increasing IL-4. These actions support immune homeostasis under psychological or physiological stress.
- Stress Resilience and Neuroendocrine Regulation
Selank stabilizes the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing overactivation caused by chronic stress. This contributes to improved resilience, energy balance, and recovery from stress-related fatigue.
- Oxidative and Metabolic Protection
Preclinical data suggest Selank may reduce oxidative stress markers and lipid peroxidation, offering mild neuroprotective support by maintaining redox balance and cellular metabolism under stress conditions.
- Antiviral and Homeostatic Effects
Experimental research shows Selank enhances antiviral immune responses by shifting Th1/Th2 cytokine ratios and supporting balanced immune regulation, potentially aiding in host defense during viral challenges.
- Product Care and Storage – All products are shipped using the Lyophilization process, which ensures that products remain stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months. Products must be reconstituted to a liquid, by mixing with bacteriostatic water for research and testing.
- Lyophilized or powder form – Store in cool, dry place away from light; can be stored at room temperature. Remains stable for several weeks or more.
For long term storage (months to years) freezing is optimal to preserve stability and maintain integrity. - Reconstituted form – Refrigerate under 39F; peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.
- Usage – We are unable to provide any dosing instructions, however all products should be considered pharmaceutical grade.
- Disclaimer – This product is for research use only and is not intended for human consumption, diagnostic use, or clinical treatment. Proper laboratory safety protocols should always be followed when handling peptides.
