Defaults match this guide (5 mg + 2 mL BAC). Change water or dose and the unit tables below update automatically.
Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (2 mL BAC → 2.50 mg/mL · 25.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Secondary educational tables commonly use ~100–500 mcg per dose (often once or twice daily) for about 2–4 weeks, then time off. Russian clinical literature also discusses intranasal courses.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–14 (intro) | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 4 u | 0.04 mL100 mcg daily educational start |
| Days 15–28 (standard) | 250 mcg0.25 mg | 10 u | 0.10 mL250 mcg daily — common mid range |
| Days 29–42 (optional) | 500 mcg0.5 mg | 20 u | 0.20 mL500 mcg daily — upper common SC range |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

~11.9 mg mg total peptide over this 42-day course at 100 mcg → 250 mcg → 500 mcg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 5 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
2 × 3 mL or 1 × 10 mL
2 mL BAC per vial × 3 vials = 6.0 mL total. Buy as 2× 3 mL bottles or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
42+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.
Alcohol swabs & sharps
~90 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 5 mg Selank vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.5 mg/mL").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·Tuftsin-derived heptapeptide studied for anxiolytic/nootropic narratives.
- ·Calculator: 0.25 mg = 250 mcg.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
Selank has clinical and research use history in some regions for anxiety/cognition. Research-market vials are not FDA-approved anxiolytics.
- ·CNS-active experimental peptide.
- ·Not FDA-approved as a research-vial product in this channel.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope.
