SELANK Peptide – User Manual & Dosage Protocol Guide
Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the naturally occurring tuftsin peptide, developed primarily for its anxiolytic, neuroprotective, and cognitive-enhancing properties.
Research Applications:
- Reducing anxiety and stress-related responses
- Supporting cognitive function, memory, and focus
- Modulating immune and neuroimmune responses
- Potential mood stabilization
Disclaimer: Selank is for research and experimental use only. It is not FDA-approved for medical use. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Forms Available
Product Form
Lyophilized Powder – Freeze-dried Selank for reconstitution
Nasal Spray Solution – Ready-to-use intranasal administration
Injection Solution – Subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) solution after reconstitution
Mechanism of Action
Selank is believed to act via:
- Modulation of GABAergic and serotonergic systems, promoting anxiolytic effects
- Neuropeptide regulation, enhancing cognitive processes
- Supporting immune system modulation and neuroprotection
Effects are primarily observed in research studies and experimental protocols.
Dosage Protocol (Investigational)
Administration
Subcutaneous (SC) Injection – Typical Dose: 250–500 µg | Frequency: 1–3× per day | Notes: Administer at consistent times for best results
Intranasal Spray – Typical Dose: 250–500 µg per dose | Frequency: 1–2× per day | Notes: Administer evenly between nostrils
Intramuscular (IM) Injection – Typical Dose: 250–500 µg | Frequency: 1–2× per day | Notes: Often used in research for systemic effect
Cycle Protocol (Investigational)
Initial Phase (5–7 days) – Dose: 250 µg 1–2× per day | Notes: Assess tolerance
Therapeutic Phase (2–4 weeks) – Dose: 250–500 µg 1–3× per day | Notes: Optimal cognitive and anxiolytic effects
Rest Period (1–2 weeks) – Dose: None | Notes: Allows system to reset before next cycle
Experimental cycles may be repeated 2–4 times per year depending on research goals.
Reconstitution Instructions (Lyophilized Powder)
Supplies Needed:
- Sterile bacteriostatic water
- Sterile syringe
- Alcohol swabs
Steps:
- Clean vial top with alcohol swab.
- Add the desired volume of bacteriostatic water (e.g., 1 mg peptide + 1 mL water → 1 mg/mL solution).
- Swirl gently to dissolve; do not shake.
- Store refrigerated (2–8°C).
- Use within 2–4 weeks; discard if cloudy or discolored.
Administration Guidelines
Subcutaneous Injection (SC)
- Select a clean injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
- Clean with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 45° angle.
- Inject slowly; apply gentle pressure afterward.
- Rotate injection sites to avoid tissue irritation.
Intramuscular Injection (IM)
- Select clean muscle site (deltoid, glute, thigh).
- Clean site with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 90° angle; inject slowly.
- Apply gentle pressure afterward.
Intranasal Administration
- Use the recommended dose (usually 250–500 µg) per nostril.
- Tilt head slightly back and spray evenly in both nostrils.
- Avoid immediate rinsing of nostrils for best absorption.
Storage Guidelines
