Freezable? ❌ No (Fragile)

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It is primarily used in research for its ability to reduce anxiety and enhance cognitive function.

Anxiolytic but Not Sedative

Unlike traditional anti-anxiety medications (like benzodiazepines), Selank works by modulating the GABAergic system and increasing Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). This provides a calming effect without causing drowsiness, impairment, or dependency.

Nootropic Potential

Researchers have noted that Selank can improve learning and memory, especially during stressful conditions. It also shows promise in repairing damage caused by neurotoxins and supporting overall brain health.

Key Benefits
