Selank | Peptide Encyclopedia | Auryx
Selank is a physician-reviewed Auryx Learn encyclopedia entry. A synthetic anxiolytic peptide derived from tuftsin that reduces anxiety and improves cognitive clarity without sedation. This page is educational. It is not a dosing guide and not a substitute for a licensed clinician.
How it works
Selank modulates GABA-A receptor activity and increases expression of BDNF. It stabilizes enkephalin metabolism, raises serotonin and dopamine tone, and reduces cortisol output under stress — producing anxiolytic effects comparable to benzodiazepines without the dependency risk, sedation, or cognitive blunting.
- Anxiety reduction without sedation or cognitive impairment
- Improved mood and emotional resilience
- Enhanced memory consolidation under stress
- BDNF upregulation supporting neuroplasticity
- Safe profile with no known dependency
Used for generalized anxiety, cognitive performance under pressure, and as an adjunct in protocols addressing stress-induced cognitive decline.
Studied for its anxiolytic and immunomodulatory properties in preclinical research, including effects on enkephalin metabolism and BDNF expression.
