Selank
Anxiolytic effect under study (limited human data): serenity, memory.
iThe essentials in 10 seconds
- Anxiolytic peptide derived from tuftsin (immunity & brain)
- Calms anxiety and stress without marked sedation or known dependence
- Also supports memory and clarity
- Intranasal or subcutaneous administration depending on the form
IWhat is Selank?
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from tuftsin, a natural molecule at the crossroads of immunity and the brain. It calms anxiety and stress by modulating GABA and neurotrophic factors, without causing heavy sedation or known dependence. It also supports memory and mental clarity.
Anxiolytic often used off-label. Data mainly from Russia; supervised use recommended, as a complement (not a substitute) to any existing treatment.
The molecules presented on this site are innovative and fall under experimental use. Human data remain limited: a studied mechanism or a preclinical observation is not sufficient to demonstrate a benefit. The regulatory status in Morocco is not established for most of these peptides. Any use is decided within the framework of a medical consultation, with follow-up — never alone, never without an assessment.
IIThe benefits
Reduces anxiety and agitation without marked sedation.
Helps manage stress and everyday tensions better.
Supports memory and concentration.
Promotes relaxation before sleep.
Inherited from tuftsin: possible immunomodulatory action.
No known dependence or heavy sedation — of interest in withdrawal.
IIIRecommendations & how to use
Route: intranasal (drops/spray) or subcutaneous depending on the form · Frequency: 1 to 2 times/day in a course · Storage: refrigerated (2–8 °C).
Must be reported: any ongoing anxiolytic or antidepressant treatment.

IVThe two protocols
Goal: reduce anxiety and manage everyday stress better.
Monitoring: anxiety level, sleep, tolerance.
Goal: support memory and concentration during periods of tension.
Selank does not replace a prescribed background treatment.
VProtocol rules
- Regular sleep (the foundation of emotional balance)
- Breathing / relaxation as a complement
- Note anxiety level and tolerance
- Keep vials in the refrigerator
- Do not interrupt a prescribed treatment
- No self-use without medical advice
- Do not stop a prescribed anxiolytic / antidepressant without your doctor
- Do not chain courses without a break
- Never mix peptides in the same vial
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding: medical advice
