Selank: Reading a Research Base That Is Mostly Not in English
Selank has a real clinical literature. The problem is that most Western readers cannot access it, which creates an unusually large gap between what is claimed and what can be independently verified.

Provenance of the evidence
Selank is a synthetic analogue of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, developed in Russia. Our index references around 41 studies, the majority published in Russian-language journals with limited independent replication elsewhere.
That is why the evidence grade is Limited: it reflects verifiability, not an assumption that the work is wrong.
Selank and Semax
The two are routinely mentioned together and share a development lineage, but they are different sequences studied for different endpoints. Vendor pages that treat them as variations of one product are not reliable sources.
Pricing
10mg vials typically run £16 to £24. Fewer vendors list Selank than the major categories, so price coverage in our index is thinner.
What to check
Confirm whether the listing is Selank or N-acetyl Selank amidate, a modified version with different stability characteristics that is frequently sold under the plain name.
Frequently asked
Why is the evidence graded Limited when clinical studies exist?
Because independent, accessible replication is scarce. Grade reflects verifiability as well as volume.
