SELANK Peptide Therapy
What is Selank?
Selank is an immune-stimulatory synthetic peptide analog of the natural immunopeptide taftsin, which acts in part
by stabilizing the natural peptides in the body that are believed to counteract stress response as well as influence
the levels of the neurotransmitters – norepinephrine, dopamine, & serotonin which are widely believed to be
involved in motivation, focus, & pleasure. Selank is similar to benzodiazepines, without the unwanted side effects
of BZDs including: amnesia, withdrawal, & dependence.
What Forms of Selank are Available?
Selank is available as nasal spray.
How Does Selank Work?
brain activity and function of the neurotransmitters. Selank can increase the inhibitory action of GABA (Gammaaminobutyric acid), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.
Who should use Selank?
Selank works for patients that are looking to support the following:
Anti-viral immuno-stimulatory effects: Selank strengthens and stimulates immune function by inducing the release of the anti-viral molecules, interferons, & increasing serum levels of IL-6, which can thus be used to help reduce symptoms of viral conditions like herpes, influenza, & other respiratory viral infections.
Anti-inflammatory effects: Studies reported increased levels of several inflammatory response genes in the spleen which thus suggest some degree of protection against the harmful effects of inflammation.
Anti-anxiety, depressant, & stress effects: Studies show that Selank improves anxiety, depression, & stress. It should be noted that studies reported that Selank was more effective in decreasing depression symptoms at relatively lower doses rather than higher doses
Antioxidant effects: Studies show that Selank increases the intracellular levels of antioxidants in the liver.
Brain damage recovery effects: Selank may help with brain damage recovery as it also increases blood flow to the brain
Risks of Selank: Potential fatigue (rare)
