🧠 Russian Anxiolytic Peptide
Selank Dosage Protocols: All Vial Sizes
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, developed by Russian researchers as an anxiolytic and nootropic without sedation or dependence.
Choose Your Vial Size
| Vial | Final volume | Concentration | One U-100 unit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 2 mg/mL, 200 mcg at each verified 0.10 mL actuation, and 50 nominal actuations | — | — | Open protocol → |
| 30 mg | — | — | 100 mcg | Open protocol → |
Doses are the same research amounts across sizes; the vial size changes the concentration, so syringe units differ. Always use the table for your exact vial.
Storage Instructions
| State | Temperature | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized | −20°C (−4°F) | Up to 24 months, dry & dark |
| Reconstituted | 2–8°C (35–46°F) | Up to 30 days, protect from light |
Important Notes
⚠ Research Use Only: Selank is approved in Russia for anxiety disorders. Use elsewhere is research-grade.
How This Works
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) modeled on the natural immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It modulates GABA, serotonin, and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) systems, producing anxiolytic effects without sedation, dependence, or cognitive impairment.
Potential Benefits & Side Effects
Potential Benefits
- Anxiolytic effects without sedation or dependence.
- Nootropic / mild cognitive enhancement reported.
- Improved stress tolerance in animal models.
- Long Russian clinical literature in anxiety disorders.
Side Effect Profile
- Generally well-tolerated.
- Mild injection-site or nasal-irritation possible.
- Long-term human safety data outside Russian literature limited.
Lifestyle Factors
- Intranasal route is most common in Russian clinical practice.
- Cycled use (4-week on, 2-week off) is typical.
Injection Technique
- Intranasal spray (most common) or subcutaneous.
- Rotate injection sites if dosing sub-Q.
