N-Acetyl Selank Amidate
What does "Anxiolytic/Nootropic Peptide" mean?
Selank is derived from tuftsin, an immune-regulating peptide. The modifications (N-Acetyl and Amidate) improve stability. "Anxiolytic" means it may help reduce anxiety.
Explained Simply
Your body has natural calming chemicals. Selank is related to one of these and may help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety while also helping with focus and immune function.
How It Works
Selank modulates GABA-ergic neurotransmission and affects expression of BDNF. It influences enkephalin metabolism and shows immunomodulatory effects. The peptide does not cause sedation or dependence typical of classical anxiolytics.
