Selank

Also: TP-7

🌟Anxiolytic Peptide

How It Works

Modulates GABA/serotonin neurotransmitter systems. Enhances immune function by influencing IL-6 and T-helper cell balance. Stabilizes enkephalin levels.

Primary Benefits

Key Studies

Selank anxiolytic effects in humans

Clinical trial demonstrates Selank's anxiolytic efficacy in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, comparable to benzodiazepines but without sedation or dependence.

moderate

Selank anti-anxiety effects comparable to benzodiazepines

Study confirms Selank provides significant anti-anxiety effects comparable to benzodiazepine treatment, with added cognitive enhancement and no addictive potential.

moderate

Selank increases BDNF in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex

Selank increases BDNF production in the rat hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, preventing ethanol-induced memory impairment and enhancing synaptic plasticity.

preclinical

Selank modulates GABA receptor gene expression

Molecular study showing Selank influences GABA-A receptor subunit gene expression, providing mechanism for its anxiolytic effects without sedation.

Expected Timeline

Week 1

Rapid reduction in anxiety within days; improved stress resilience; calmer baseline

Weeks 2-4

Stable anxiolytic effects without sedation; improved sleep onset

Month 2-3

Adaptive reduction in baseline anxiety; improved immune markers in some studies

Long-term

Effects generally require cycling; tolerance is low compared to benzodiazepines
