Selank

What it is

A synthetic peptide developed in Russia.

How it works

Selank appears to influence:

• GABA signaling
• Serotonin
• Dopamine
• Immune signaling

Unlike benzodiazepines, it doesn't directly stimulate GABA receptors but seems to modulate the system.

Potential benefits

• Improved mood
• Better focus
• Less stress
• Minimal sedation

Most clinical use has been in Russia and Eastern Europe.
