BRAIN, FOCUS & MOOD RESEARCH

Selank

A synthetic tuftsin analogue developed in Russia, studied for anti-anxiety and cognitive effects.

Selank is a synthetic analogue of tuftsin with an added anxiolytic sequence, developed in Russia as an anti-anxiety and cognitive-enhancing peptide. It has a documented Russian clinical-use history and is studied for calm focus, stress resilience, and mood.

Why BLP features Selank

Included because it has documented Russian clinical use—material foreign evidence—plus a described neuromodulatory mechanism and a consistent research-use history. Its clinical foundation places it above newer analogues without their own studies.

Mechanism

Modulates GABA, serotonin, and enkephalin systems.

Up-regulates BDNF and neurogenesis.

Balances immune response and lowers IL-6 inflammation; crosses the blood-brain barrier rapidly.

WHAT THE RESEARCH MEASURED

Research findings

Findings describe study outcomes, not expected personal results.

Human research findings

  • Russian clinical research reports calm without sedation.
  • Reported clearer thinking and reduced overthinking, with lower social and performance anxiety.
  • Reported elevated mood and emotional stability, and faster recovery from stress.
  • Considered very well tolerated in research use.

Preclinical findings

  • Neuromodulatory mechanism characterized in neuroscience research.
  • Anxiolytic effects documented in Russian preclinical and clinical work.

Regulatory status

Selank is used clinically in Russia and some other countries but is not FDA-approved. Sold and offered strictly for laboratory and research use.
