What it's actually good for

Mood

Research Supported

Clinical trials show significant reduction in symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

Focus

Mixed Evidence

May improve attention and memory under stress, but evidence in healthy adults is limited.

Immunity

Weak Evidence

As a tuftsin analog, it may have immunomodulatory effects, but human data is sparse.

How it works

Adalank (commonly known as Selank) is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous peptide tuftsin. Clinical research, primarily from Russia, suggests it acts as a non-sedative anxiolytic and nootropic, potentially improving mood and cognitive function under stress.

It modulates the GABAergic system and increases the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) while regulating serotonin and enkephalin metabolism.

Safety

  • Generally well-tolerated in clinical trials with few reported side effects.
  • Nasal administration may cause minor local irritation or congestion.
  • Long-term safety data in Western populations is limited.
