Peptide Therapy

Selank is an immune-stimulatory synthetic peptide analog of the natural immunopeptide taftsin, which acts in part by stabilizing the natural peptides in the body that are believed to counteract stress response as well as influence the levels of the neurotransmitters – norepinephrine, dopamine, & serotonin which are widely believed to be involved in motivation, focus, & pleasure. Selank is similar to benzodiazepines, without the unwanted side effects of BZDs including: amnesia, withdrawal, & dependence.

How Does Selank Work?

Selank acts as Melanocortin Stimulating Hormone-like peptides within the brain to initiate wide-ranging effects related to brain activity and function of the neurotransmitters. Selank can increase the inhibitory action of GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

Who should use Selank?

Selank works for patients that are looking to support the following:

Anti-viral immuno-stimulatory effects: Selank strengthens and stimulates immune function by inducing the release of the anti-viral molecules, interferons, & increasing serum levels of IL-6, which can thus be used to help reduce symptoms of viral conditions like herpes, influenza, & other respiratory viral infections.

Anti-inflammatory effects: Studies reported increased levels of several inflammatory response genes in the spleen which thus suggest some degree of protection against the harmful effects of inflammation.

Anti-anxiety, depressant, & stress effects: Studies show that Selank improves anxiety, depression, & stress. It should be noted that studies reported that Selank was more effective in decreasing depression symptoms at relatively lower doses rather than higher doses.

Antioxidant effects: Studies show that Selank increases the intracellular levels of antioxidants in the liver.

Brain damage recovery effects: Selank may help with brain damage recovery as it also increases blood flow to the brain
