Description
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the immunomodulatory natural peptide tuftsin. It exhibits anxiolytic, nootropic, and neuroprotective properties, acting through modulation of the GABAergic and other neurotransmitter systems. Selank has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing cognitive function, reducing anxiety symptoms, and regulating stress responses in various research models.
