What is

Selank

Both Selank and Semax are melanocortins and have pleiotropic effects involved in brain health and function. Selank by itself has traditionally been prescribed for anxiety and depression. Selank has pronounced anxiolytic activity and acts as a stable neuropsychotropic, antidepressant, and anti-stress medication. Semax is used as a therapeutic for patients with pathologies related to brain circulation dysfunction. As a combination, Selank/Semax has applications in improving learning processes, exploratory behavior, regeneration and development, nociceptive and in ammatory processes, accelerate nerve regeneration and improve neuromuscular performance and overall neural health.

Benefits

  • Improves mental clarity, memory, and focus
  • Improved health and lifespan Reduces anxiety and depression

Protocols

Provided as a 750 mcg/spray (0.1 ml) nasal spray

  • Initiation: Selank therapy is initiated to support cognitive function, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall mental health by modulating neurotransmitter systems and neurotrophic factors.
  • Initial Dose: Begin with 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril once daily during the daytime for the first two weeks to assess tolerance and minimize potential side effects.
  • Titration: If well tolerated, increase the dose to 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril twice daily during the daytime after the initial two-week period.
  • Maintenance: Maintain the dose at 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril 1-2 times daily for ongoing support in cognitive function and mental health improvement.
  • Duration: Semax is administered daily.
  • Weeks 1-2: 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril once daily during the daytime
  • Week 3 and onwards: 1 spray (750 mcg) in each nostril 1-2 times daily during the daytime

*Provided as a standard protocol, dose may vary depending on the condition of the patient.
*The dosage of Selank may be adjusted based on the individual’s response, medical history, and specific treatment goals.

  • Known hypersensitivity to Selank or any component of the formulation.
  • Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider.
  • Patients with severe nasal or sinus conditions should consult with their healthcare provider before starting this treatment.
  • Avoid using other nasal medications concurrently without professional advice to prevent potential interactions.

  • Regular monitoring of cognitive function and overall mental health to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Periodic assessments to check for any adverse effects and to adjust the treatment as necessary.
  • Consultation with a healthcare professional before starting Selank to ensure it is appropriate for the patient’s health condition.
  • Patients should maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, to support the effectiveness of the treatment​

Procedure

  • Shake the nasal spray bottle gently before use.
  • Remove the cap from the nasal spray bottle.
  • Insert the nozzle into one nostril and close the other nostril with a finger.
  • Press down on the pump to release 1 spray (750 mcg) while inhaling gently through the nose.
  • Repeat the process for the other nostril.
  • Administer the spray 1-2 times daily as prescribed.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless advised by a healthcare provider.

  • Store the nasal spray bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the solution.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Monitor for any unusual symptoms and report them to a healthcare provider immediately.

Clinical Research

Study:

Selank Nasal Peptide for Cognitive Enhancement and Anxiety Reduction

Source:

Peptides.org, Cochrane Handbook, Nasal Spray Peptides

Results:

Selank, a synthetic analog of the endogenous peptide tuftsin, is known for its anxiolytic, neuroprotective, and cognitive-enhancing properties. Administered nasally, Selank is rapidly absorbed through the sinus membranes, making it an effective route for delivering its benefits.

Selank modulates neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. It enhances the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, contributing to improved cognitive function and emotional regulation. Additionally, Selank influences the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the physiological and behavioral responses to stress.

Selank is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Common side effects include mild nasal irritation. Its safety and efficacy make it a promising candidate for treating anxiety, cognitive impairments, and neuroprotective therapies.

Physiological Effects of Selank and Its Fragments

The development of Selank based on the natural regulatory peptide tuftsin allowed combining the native bioactivity of the molecule with the design engineering of certain physiological functions. Based on a summary of the experimental and clinical data, a comparative analysis of the structural and functional regularities of the effects of Selank and its fragments was […]

Peptide Selank Enhances the Effect of Diazepam in Reducing Anxiety in Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress Conditions in Rats

It was shown that the anxiolytic effect of Selank is comparable to that of classical benzodiazepine drugs and that the basis of their mechanism of action may be similar. These data suggest that the presence of Selank may change the action of classical benzodiazepine drugs.
