Selank Peptide Therapy

Selank is a synthetic peptide known for its nootropic (cognitive-enhancing) and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties. Originally developed in Russia, it is a modified version of the natural peptide tuftsin, which is involved in immune regulation. Selank has gained recognition for its ability to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and stabilise mood without the sedative or dependency risks of traditional medications. At The Catalyst Clinic, we provide personalised consultation and supervised peptide therapy, including Selank.

What is Selank?

Selank is a neuropeptide that acts on the central nervous system, with wide-ranging effects on both mental clarity and emotional wellbeing.

  • Reduces anxiety – calming effects without drowsiness

  • Improves focus and memory – supports learning and productivity

  • Stabilises mood – promotes emotional balance

  • Supports immune system – has immunomodulatory properties

This unique dual action makes Selank both a nootropic and an anxiolytic, offering benefits for brain health and stress resilience.

Benefits of Selank

Research and clinical use suggest Selank may:

  • • Relieve anxiety and stress without sedation or dependency
  • • Improve focus and cognitive performance – mental clarity and productivity
  • • Stabilise mood – support for depression or mood swings
  • • Enhance memory and learning – linked to higher BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
  • • Aid stress adaptation – better resilience under pressure
  • • Support immune health – reduce inflammation and modulate immune function

How Selank Works

Selank acts through several neurochemical pathways:

  • • Regulation of GABA and serotonin – key neurotransmitters for relaxation and mood balance
  • • Increased BDNF – improves neuroplasticity, memory, and learning
  • • Immune modulation – reduces inflammation and strengthens immune response
  • • Stabilisation of enkephalins – peptides that regulate stress response, improving resilience

Potential Applications of Selank

Selank has been explored for:

  • • Managing anxiety and stress – non-sedating relief
  • • Enhancing cognition – support for students, professionals, and individuals seeking mental clarity
  • • Emotional wellbeing – mood stabilisation and depression support
  • • Immune health – adjunct support for immune-related issues

Note: Selank remains investigational outside of specific research contexts. More human trials are needed for widespread approval.

Administration

Selank is usually taken as:

  • • Nasal spray – common, non-invasive and effective delivery method
  • • Subcutaneous injection – less common, used in specific cases

Dosage and frequency should always be tailored under medical supervision.

Safety and Side Effects

Selank is considered safe and well tolerated, with minimal side effects reported. Unlike traditional anti-anxiety drugs, it does not cause:

  • • Sedation
  • • Dependency
  • • Withdrawal symptoms

Mild side effects may include temporary nasal irritation (for spray) or injection site reactions.
