Selank (also known as TP-7) is a synthetic peptide studied in Russia for anxiety and cognitive effects. This page covers what the published research does — and does not — establish about it in relation to focus, memory and cognition.
Selank is researched for Focus & cognition — which is why it appears in discussions of focus, memory and cognition.
Research status: Primarily Russian clinical and preclinical research.
How Selank is thought to work
Selank is a synthetic analog of the immune peptide tuftsin, developed in Russia. Research suggests it may modulate neurotransmitters (including GABA and serotonin systems) and BDNF, which is the basis for studies of anti-anxiety and cognition-supporting effects.
What it does not establish
Most research is region-specific and not widely replicated. Not an approved medication in the US/EU.
Nothing on this page is a recommendation to use Selank, and Selpho publishes no dosing, reconstitution or sourcing information. Read how we decide what goes in the library.
