Selank
5mg/vial
A synthetic peptide derived from tuftsin, a naturally occurring immune-system peptide, engineered for extended stability. It shares an origin story with Semax but is studied for a distinct mechanism.
What the research explores: GABA-A receptor modulation as a pathway to anxiolytic activity, serotonin metabolism, and immunomodulatory effects through cytokine and interferon pathways. Research has directly compared Selank's calming mechanism against Semax's activating one in functional brain imaging studies.
What it isn't: a sedative. Selank's proposed mechanism, enhancing the body's own inhibitory GABA signaling rather than replacing it, is what distinguishes it in the research literature from classic anti-anxiety compounds.
