Nootropic Clarity & Focus
Anxiety-free cognitive enhancement — BDNF upregulation, focus, and neuroprotection.
How long will one vial last?
Based on standard research protocols, here's exactly what to expect from a single 5mg vial — and when to plan your next order.
Actual duration may vary based on your specific protocol. Always consult your research guidelines for precise dosing schedules.
Scientific Background
Mechanism of Action
Selank modulates the GABAergic system (similar to benzodiazepines but without receptor downregulation), increases BDNF expression, and regulates serotonin and dopamine metabolism. It also enhances expression of IL-6 and other cytokines involved in adaptive immunity.
Clinical Context
Selank has been approved in Russia for anxiety and asthenic disorders. Its dual anxiolytic-nootropic profile is unique — most anxiolytics impair cognition while Selank enhances it.
Research Highlights
- Clinical trials in Russia demonstrated anxiolytic efficacy comparable to benzodiazepines without sedation
- Shown to increase BDNF levels — key neurotrophic factor for memory and learning
- Demonstrated improvements in working memory and attention in human subjects
- No withdrawal, tolerance, or dependence observed in long-term studies
Storage & Reconstitution
Store at -20°C. Reconstitute with 1 mL bacteriostatic water or sterile saline for intranasal use. Stable 3 weeks at 2–8°C.
Intranasal route preferred for CNS effects. Typical cycle: 4–8 weeks.
