Selank – 5mg

Description

Primary Uses of Selank

1. Anxiety Reduction:
   • Selank is widely used to reduce anxiety without causing drowsiness or dependency. It’s been approved in Russia for treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and is believed to work by modulating the brain’s GABA system (a calming neurotransmitter) and influencing serotonin levels, which regulate mood.
   • Clinical studies, mostly from Russia, suggest it’s comparable to low-dose benzodiazepines but without the downsides like withdrawal symptoms.
2. Cognitive Enhancement:
   • As a nootropic, Selank may improve memory, focus, and learning. Research in rats shows it enhances memory stability and boosts brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein critical for neuron growth and cognitive function.
   • It’s also been explored for restoring cognitive abilities after brain damage, such as from strokes or trauma, due to its neuroprotective effects.
3. Mood Stabilization:
   • Selank can help stabilize emotions, potentially aiding with depression or stress-related mood swings. It’s thought to balance neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which play key roles in emotional well-being.
4. Stress Relief:
   • It counteracts the stress response by stabilizing enkephalins (natural pain-relieving peptides) and reducing cortisol (the stress hormone), promoting a sense of calm and resilience.

Additional Potential Uses

• Immune Support: Selank may boost immunity by increasing IL-6 (an inflammatory protein that fights infections) and stimulating interferons (antiviral molecules), based on animal and cell studies.
• Neuroprotection: It’s been studied for protecting the brain from damage due to alcohol use or injury, potentially aiding recovery processes.
• Other Conditions: Anecdotal reports and limited research suggest benefits for PTSD, ADHD, and even metabolic syndrome (e.g., reducing blood glucose and body fat accumulation), though these need more robust evidence.

How It’s Used

• Administration: Typically delivered as a nasal spray (intranasally) because it breaks down in the stomach if taken orally. This method ensures quick delivery to the brain. Subcutaneous injections are less common but also used.
• Dosage: Common doses range from 250–500 µg/day (often 1-2 sprays per nostril), though this varies by individual and purpose. Always prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider where available.

Side Effects

Selank is generally well-tolerated with minimal reported side effects. Rare issues might include:

• Mild nasal irritation (from the spray).
• Headaches or a strange taste in the mouth.
• No significant addiction or withdrawal risks have been documented.
