Selank is a synthetic analogue of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsinas such, it mimics many of its effects. It has been shown to modulate the expression of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and affect the balance of T helper cell cytokines. It has been shown to influence the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters and induce metabolism of serotonin. Selank has also been found to rapidly elevate the expression of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus of rats.
Selank (sub-q and nasal) from Ceretropic: removed my anxiety/depression completely. I'm comfortable as who I am, but with out the drive to be better. I'm still my self. Just happier, nice, and more emotionally open. Socializing with friends and strangers is enjoyable again. Dosages/methods of administration: Iv used both nasal and sub-q over the past 6 or so months. the enhanced/nootropic, calm analytical effects only appear at around 600-750mcg via sub-q. anything below that (50-100mcg sub-q)that just takes the edge off, and removes anxiety.
