At MD Total Wellness, we specialize in medically supervised peptide therapy. Selank peptide therapy offers a natural alternative to traditional pharmaceuticals like benzodiazepines or SSRIs, helping with anxiety, stress, and focus without sedation or dependency risks. If you’re experiencing mental fog, mild anxiety, or cognitive challenges, and want to avoid pharmaceuticals, Selank may be a treatment option.
MD Total Wellness provides professional medical guidance and follow-up, pharmaceutical-grade (>99% purity), professional-use-only peptides, and low prices. We offer in-person and telehealth services to patients in Orange County and throughout California. Get started by scheduling a free consult today.

Selank is a synthetic peptide, modeled after the naturally occurring human protein tuftsin, used to treat anxiety and enhance cognition. Developed and studied in Russia, where it’s approved for clinical use as an alternative to SSRIs and anxiolytics, Selank is used off-label in the U.S. for similar benefits.
We offer pharmaceutical-grade (>99% purity), professional-use-only Selank that is manufactured in the USA. Administered as a subcutaneous injection, it provides a non-sedating treatment option compared to conventional anxiolytics.

Selank acts as a non-addictive regulator of stress, mood, and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, often providing benefits similar to benzodiazepines without the sedative side effects. Potential benefits include:
Selank provides calming effects similar to low-dose tranquilizers, easing symptoms without drowsiness. Selank is an approved treatment for anxiety and stress in Russia, where it was developed and studied.
Selank has been reported to enhance focus, memory, concentration and learning.
Selank has shown potential neuroprotective properties, supporting neuronal health and boosting mood.
Selank influences immune-related gene expression, potentially supporting immune function.
Selank helps reduce emotional and mental fatigue.
Selank is not habit-forming and doesn’t cause withdrawal symptoms, unlike traditional anti-anxiety medications.
Patients often notice reduced anxiety within 1-3 days and improved cognitive function within 1-2 weeks. Selank is not FDA-approved.
Selank works by modulating neurotransmitters and influencing genes expression in the brain. Key mechanisms of action include:
Selank interacts with GABA receptors, enhancing the inhibitory, calming effects of the neurotransmitter GABA without causing sedation.
Selank influences levels of serotonin and dopamine, which helps stabilize mood, reduce stress, and improve focus.
Selank influences the expression of genes related to neurotransmission and immunity, potentially supporting overall brain health and cognitive function.
Selank influences the expression of genes which helps regulate the balance between sleep and wakefulness, contributing to its anti-anxiety effects without causing drowsiness.
Key clinical research findings:
Research highlights Selank’s potential for anxiety and cognitive support. Gene expression studies demonstrate changes in GABA-related genes after administration. It enhances the effects of diazepam (Valium) in anxiety models and impacts neurotransmission similar to olanzapine (a drug used for bipolar disorder). Clinical observations note rapid and sustained responses in treating generalized anxiety disorder. In Russia it is used for conditions like anxiety and stress as an alternative to SSRIs and anxiolytics.
Studies show Selank acts similarly to low-dose benzodiazepines (reduce fear, anxiety, stress-induced behavior) but lacks their side effects, such as memory impairment and muscle relaxation. Studies note rapid and sustained responses in treatment generalized anxiety disorder.
Research suggests Selank can enhance cognitive functions, including memory and learning, particularly under conditions of stress or cognitive impairment.
Clinical evidence suggests it is safe, effective, and free from the addiction or withdrawal issues associated with benzodiazepines.
Selank peptide therapy may be suitable for:
If traditional therapies haven’t met your needs, or you are interested in avoiding pharmaceuticals, Selank may be an option. We offer medically supervised care and pharmaceutical grade Selank to patients in Orange County and throughout California. Schedule a free consult to get started today.
Selank is administered via subcutaneous injection, typically 0.2-0.5 mg per day, with 1-2 month cycles. We dispense Selank from the office (or ship to your home), and will provide you with instructions for home use.
Price: $150/vial for a 10mg vial (1-2mo supply, depending on dosage); includes personalized dosing guidance and follow-up.
Selank is generally well-tolerated under medical supervision, with studies showing no significant adverse effects or dependency, unlike many conventional anti-anxiety medications. Mild reactions may include:
