Selank (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol

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.

Reconstitute: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water (max vial capacity) → ~3.33 mg/mL concentration.

Typical daily range: 300–500 mcg once daily subcutaneously (gradual titration).

Easy measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 33.3 mcg on a U‑100 insulin syringe.

Storage: Lyophilized: freeze at −20 °C (−4 °F); after reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); avoid freeze–thaw cycles.

Dosing & Reconstitution Guide

Educational guide for reconstitution and daily dosing

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL = ~3.33 mg/mL)

Week	Daily Dose (mcg)	Units (per injection) (mL)
Weeks 1–2	300 mcg (0.3 mg)	9 units (0.09 mL)
Weeks 3–4	500 mcg (0.5 mg)	15 units (0.15 mL)

Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously^[3]. A common cycling pattern is 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off to prevent tachyphylaxis, though continuous daily use has been studied in clinical trials for up to 14 days with good tolerability^[2]. Some practitioners recommend administering 5 days per week with 2-day breaks^[3].

For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.

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

Plan based on an 8–16 week protocol with 4-week cycles and gradual titration.

Peptide Vials (Selank, 10 mg each):

8 weeks (one 4-week cycle) ≈ 2 vials
12 weeks (1.5 cycles) ≈ 4 vials
16 weeks (two complete cycles) ≈ 5 vials

Insulin Syringes (U‑100):

Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)
8 weeks: 56 syringes
12 weeks: 84 syringes
16 weeks: 112 syringes

Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use ~3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.

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

Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.

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

Concise summary of the once‑daily anxiolytic/nootropic regimen.

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.
