Quickstart Highlights
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin with demonstrated anxiolytic and anti-asthenic (energy-boosting) properties in human clinical trials [1] [2] . In Russian studies, intranasal Selank produced anxiolytic effects comparable to benzodiazepines without sedation or dependence potential [1] . This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using practical dilution for accurate insulin‑syringe measurements.
02 · Dosing & reconstitution
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
A practical calculator-ready setup based on the imported protocol reference. Use these values as a math starting point, then verify every entry against your own vial, diluent, and professional guidance.
Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~3.33 mg/mL)
300–500 mcg once daily subcutaneously (gradual titration).
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
- Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
- Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake vigorously as peptides are delicate).
- Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) , protected from light.

Supplies Needed
Keep this as a planning checklist. TNHL does not sell or verify supplies on this page, and no supplier quality claims are made here.
- 12 weeks (1.5 cycles) ≈ 4 vials
- 16 weeks (two complete cycles) ≈ 5 vials
- 8 weeks: 56 syringes
- 12 weeks: 84 syringes
- 16 weeks: 112 syringes
- 8 weeks (2 vials): 6 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
- 12 weeks (4 vials): 12 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
- 16 weeks (5 vials): 15 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
- Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)
- 8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100‑count boxes
Protocol Overview
- Goal: Support reduction of anxiety and neurasthenia symptoms while providing anti-asthenic (energy-boosting) benefits [1] [2] .
- Schedule: Daily subcutaneous injections for 4-week cycles with 4-week breaks (8–16 weeks total protocol).
- Dose Range: 300–500 mcg daily with gradual titration.
- Reconstitution: 3.0 mL per 10 mg vial (~3.33 mg/mL) for accurate unit measurements.
- Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
Dosing Protocol
- Suggested daily titration approach.
- Start: 300 mcg daily for weeks 1–2; clinicians treating cognitive or anxiety issues often begin at this level [3] .
- Target: 500 mcg daily by weeks 3–4 if lower doses are well-tolerated.
- Frequency: Once per day (subcutaneous); some protocols use 5 days per week with 2-day breaks [3] .
- Cycle Pattern: 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off to prevent tachyphylaxis; repeat as needed.
- Timing: Any consistent time; rotate injection sites to prevent irritation.
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F) ; after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F) ; avoid freeze–thaw cycles.
- Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
- Keep mixed and unmixed items clearly labeled so inventory and dose logs stay accurate.
04 · Good to know
Important Notes
- Practical considerations for consistency and safety.
- Use new sterile insulin syringes for each injection; dispose in a sharps container immediately after use [9] .
- Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thighs, upper arms) systematically to reduce local irritation and prevent tissue changes [7] .
- Inject slowly and steadily; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle.
- Document daily dose, timing, and site rotation to maintain consistency throughout the protocol.
- Multi-use bacteriostatic water vials should be dated upon opening and discarded within 28 days [9] .

The library page pairs that educational context with calculator-ready vial math, so users can understand the protocol structure and then track their own entered values in one place.
06 · Daily habits
Lifestyle Factors
- Keep meals, training, sleep, and recovery notes in the journal so trends are easier to review.
- Track body metrics only if they are relevant to the user's goal and approved data sources.
- Use consistent timing and logging habits so adherence data is meaningful.
07 · What to expect
Potential Benefits & Side Effects
- Selank observations should be recorded conservatively: expected research endpoints, tolerability notes, injection-site reactions when applicable, sleep, appetite, energy, mood, and any adverse or unusual response.
- This section is not a claim of therapeutic benefit.
08 · Technique
Injection Technique
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Wipe the vial stopper and chosen site with alcohol, then let both dry.
- Confirm the vial concentration, calculator result, and intended draw amount before loading the syringe.
- Use the route and needle technique directed by a qualified professional or product instructions.
- For subcutaneous injections, rotate sites and inject slowly to limit leakage and irritation.
- Do not reuse needles or syringes.
- Dispose of sharps in a puncture-resistant container.
- Return stored items promptly to the correct temperature.
- Log dose, site, date, time, inventory change, and any observation.
