Selank Dosing Protocol: 10 mg Vial — Extended Anxiety & Cognitive Protocol
Selank 10 mg vial guide — 20-day supply at 500 µg/day, ideal for extended anxiety management cycles without frequent reconstitution.
Quickstart highlights
Selank's extended 10-week protocols utilize BDNF upregulation (30–40% increase in hippocampal BDNF after 14+ days) and progressive enkephalin half-life normalization for durable anxiolytic effects that extend beyond the injection period.
- Concentration: 2 mg/mL (10 mg vial + 5 mL bacteriostatic water).
- At 2 mg/mL: 500 µg = 25 units once daily — the standard dose from Russian clinical trials.
- Reconstitute 2.5 mL at a time (5 mg) to stay within the 28-day use window and avoid waste.
- One 10 mg vial total provides 20 doses at 500 µg — approximately 20 days at once-daily dosing.
- Inject in the morning for cognitive clarity; split 250 + 250 µg for all-day anxiety coverage.
Dosing table
For educational reference only. Your prescribing provider may adjust doses based on your clinical profile and response.
| Week | Dose (µg) | Units | Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | 250 | 12.5 | Once daily (morning) | 250 µg — 12.5 units; assessment phase; 40 doses per 10 mg vial |
| 3-10 | 500 | 25 | Once or twice daily | 500 µg — 25 units; therapeutic phase; 20 doses at this level |
Reconstitution steps
- Draw 5 mL bacteriostatic water (two 2.5 mL draws); inject slowly down the vial wall.
- Swirl gently until dissolved; do not shake.
- Final concentration: 2 mg/mL. Label with date; refrigerate at 2–8 °C. Use within 28 days.
- At 500 µg/day, 28-day window = 28 doses possible; however, 5 mL volume provides 50 doses — reconstitute 2.5 mL portions to stay within the window.
Supplies needed
10-week plan
- 2 vials
- 70 syringes
- 10 mL bac water
- 70 alcohol swabs
Protocol overview & cycle notes
Provide an extended Selank anxiolytic and cognitive enhancement protocol from the 10 mg vial, achieving continuous therapeutic BDNF upregulation and enkephalin stabilization over 8–10 weeks.
Cycle length: 10 weeks on.
Off-cycle: 4 weeks off; reassess anxiety symptoms (GAD-7) before resuming.
Storage & handling
Injection & tracking tips
- Morning injection is preferred — Selank's nootropic effects support focus during daytime cognitive tasks.
- Splitting the dose (250 µg morning + 250 µg afternoon) provides sustained anxiolytic coverage throughout the day.
- The 10 mg vial is most economical for extended 4–8 week protocols; reconstitute 2.5 mL at a time to respect the 28-day window.
Tracking
Logging helps you and your provider spot patterns and adjust dose or timing.
- Track GAD-7 score weekly throughout the protocol.
- Log daily productivity and task completion rates as cognitive performance metrics.
- Record sleep quality (0–10) nightly — Selank's GABA-A modulation often improves sleep architecture.
