Peptide Selank For Improving Focus Ability

Selank (5mg)--Synthetic derivative of the endogenous tetrapeptide Tuftsin

Selank Peptide, L-threonyl-L-lysyl-L-prolyl-L-arginyl-L-prolylglycyl-L-Proline

Common uses:

Recreationally Selank is used to improve one’s ability to focus and concentrate, reduce mental fatigue, increase mental sharpness and increase memory and learning capacity. The first noticeable effect is usually stabilization of mood and general feeling of well-being.

Neuropeptide Selank is a synthetic derivative of the human body's naturally produced tetrapeptide Tuftsin. It is a hexapeptide whith a wide range of uses. It was first sinthesized in the late 1990's by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Science. Selank is used as an anxiolytic in the therapy of anxiety and phobic disorders, including generalized anxiety. Its action is similar to that of mild benzodiazepins but without the sedative effects. As a selective anxiolytic with a nootropic component, Selank can be used as treatment of depression, fear and general anxiety. It also reduces phsychic tension. This neuropeptide has passed all phases of clinical trials and is now being prepared for registration and mass production. 

Selank as a nootropic 

Recreationally Selank is used to improve one's ability to focus and concentrate, reduce mental fatigue, increase mental sharpness and increase memory and learning capacity. The first noticeable effect is usually stabilization of mood and general feeling of well-being. 

Selank as an antiviral agent 

Selank neuropeptide also expresses immunomodulatory effects. In 2009 a study by F. Ershov et all. has evaluated antiviral properties of Selank both in vitro and in vivo against the influenza virus strain A/Aichi 2/68 (H3N2). The pronounced antiviral effect of Selank was detected in both systems. The highest efficiency - completely supressed viral reproduction was shown when Selank was added to the cell culture 24 hours before inoculation. 

Selank effects 

Experimental and clinical studies showed the following pharmaclogical effects of Selank: 

improvement of learning and memory processes (reference, reference)

increased sensory attention

increased curiosity

increased mental clarity

restoration of balance of serotonergic and noradrenergic brain system activity (reference)

anti-anxiety - inhibition of anxiety (reference)

antiviral activity with no negative effects (reference)

psychostimulant, anti-asthenic - increased mental energy (reference)

Selank side effects 

Selank has a low toxicity profile. An overdose of 500 times higher than the normal level has been proven harmless for humans. Large majority of researchers are reporting that it is a “side effect free” compound. Some believe an overdose might cause fatigue.
