Description
Tuftsin-derived anxiolytic peptide
Selank is a synthetic peptide with nootropic and anxiolytic properties, recognized for its ability to reduce anxiety, improve emotional balance, and support cognitive enhancement without causing sedation or dependency. Functions by influencing key neurotransmitter systems, particularly increasing serotonin activity. Also studied for boosting memory retention, sharpening focus, and enhancing learning capacity. Beyond neurological effects, may offer benefits by supporting immune regulation and reducing inflammation.
