Selank

Selank peptide is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring peptide tuftsin. It exhibits anxiolytic, nootropic, and neuroprotective properties, primarily through modulation of serotonin and dopamine receptors in research settings. Selank has been studied for its potential effects on cognitive enhancement, stress reduction, and the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in laboratory models. In vitro studies suggest it may influence the expression of certain brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), promoting neural plasticity and synaptic connections.
