Selank is one of the newer Nootropic substances to hit the market in recent years. It is considered to be heptapeptide and an accessory drug or substance which has anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects.
This supplement was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Science.
There is quite a buzz about this new drug for a number of potential benefits that could have a wide range of applications and uses. At the present time, Selank has completed stage III clinical trials in Russia and is awaiting the go-ahead for release to human use.
Selank is an analog of the spleen-produced peptide (peptide simply means a string of amino acids connected together) known as Tuftsin. This peptide is also considered to be immunomodulatory, or capable of improving and changing the immune system (for the better).
It is also closely related the prescription drug Semax, which was produced by the same institute and is currently approved for human use in Russia and Ukraine. There are a number of user and researcher reports indicating that Selank is a more effective alternative.

One of the first questions to answer regarding this Nootropic supplement is how exactly does it work. A documented method of action appears to be through the release of endorphins into your system.
This means that the supplement is able to influence the release of a powerful neurotransmitter known as Dopamine. You could even think of it like an internal opiate.
Another method of action is thought to be related to an increase in another neurotransmitter called Serotonin.
This brain chemical has the ability to help regulate mood as well as influencing appetite and even the normal sleep-wake cycles we go through. It is also well-known that deficiencies in these chemicals can lead to depression, lack of appetite, and difficulty sleeping.
From a purely pharmacological standpoint, this supplement simply mimics many of the effects of tuftsin, the drug upon which it is based. This includes modulation of the expression of Interleukin-6 and the balance of T helper cells.
It also influences the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters and induces the metabolism of Serotonin. There is evidence to suggest that it might modulate the expression of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF).

Selank Benefits:
One of the first benefits most users will be able to see with Selank is a stabilization and improvement in their overall mood. It leads to feelings of contentment and well-being.
What is even more interesting is that this effect is not sedating, but rather calming. At the same time, most users are able to feel improved mental clarity and overall enhanced cognitive function.
Anyone who is suffering from the condition known as anhedonia may benefit from this nootropic agent. Anhedonia is a condition where someone is not able to experience pleasure.
Anhedonia is often created through the use of amphetamines or other opioid type drugs which play with the workings of the brain’s pleasure center. Selank has been shown to help restore the proper functioning of this are of the brain, although it should only be considered as one part of a broader treatment plan.
From a purely Nootropic point of view, there are additional benefits as well. This includes helping to reduce anxiety in a number of different forms such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and even Panic Disorder. It also improves the ability to focus and concentrate, increase mental sharpness, reduce mental fatigue, increase memory and learning capacity, and even improve cognitive functioning when in a sleep deficit.
Selank Dosage:
The generally accepted daily dosage range is anywhere from between 250 mcg to 3 mg.
Of course, you should always start with the lowest effective dose and then work your way up, if needed at all, in a very thoughtful, slow, and controlled fashion.
It is also thought that this supplement is very benign and that doses even up to 500 times that of the effective range have been shown to be well tolerated by the human body.
Selank Side Effects:
Since this drug is very well-tolerated and considered generally safe, there are not many side effects to report. In fact, there are no significant side effects to report, along with no allergic reactions, interactions, or even addiction or withdrawal potential.
That being said, drugs will affect people in different ways and caution is always necessary. It should also be mentioned that this is a newer compound with a shorter history of use. Future research may uncover risk factors that are not known today.
Selank Review:
For anyone interested in trying the latest nootropics as soon as they hit the market, Selank is an immediately attractive offering. Coming from the same research team that developed Semax, this nootropic has already been observed to overshadow Semax in its cognitive benefits. It has a highly positive effect on mood and anxiety, and may offer real results for individuals with depression or anhedonia.
However, there are also a number of more widely used, widely researched and widely available supplements that can give you similar results. As exciting as it is to be on the forefront of cognitive research, there is something to be said for using tried and true substances that have already withstood the test of time. We will continue to keep an eye on Selank to determine whether it merits further coverage.
