Human dosing
| Period / condition | Dose | Escalation |
|---|---|---|
| Start | 250–300 mcg, 1–2x daily | Starting dose |
| Main course (up to 14 days) | 250–300 mcg per application, up to 6x daily (≈1.5–1.8 mg/day from the main doses) | Increase if needed |
| Maximum in this schedule | up to 2.25 mg/day total | Maximum in this schedule; 1–3 week break after the course |
The scientific context for this compound, from structure to published studies, is collected in the monograph.
Practical dosing and course details
In the main-course regimen, 250–300 mcg is applied up to six separate times a day, so the total daily dose comes from six separate applications, not one dose repeated three times.
At the upper bound of 300 mcg per application up to six times a day, the daily total from the main doses alone reaches 1.8 mg; the up to 2.25 mg/day range listed in the schedule leaves room for smaller additional applications rather than being a fixed number for every day of the course.
The course here is capped at 14 days with a 1–3 week break afterward rather than continuous use: protocols of this kind are typically built as cycles rather than as an ongoing daily addition. A break of that length is typical for a short-lived peptide: it allows time to assess the effect after the course ends before deciding on another cycle.

How to reconstitute
An example reconstitution for convenient dosing. The exact ratios depend on your vial. For research reference only — not medical guidance.
- 1Add the diluentUse bacteriostatic water. Example: 2 ml into a 10 mg vial.Selank10 mg+ 2 mlDiluent
- 2Get the concentrationExample: 10 mg in 2 ml =Selank5 mg/ml(5,000 mcg/ml)
- 3Work out the volume per doseFor example, for a 2.5 mg dose:2.5 mg = 0.5 ml= 50 u. (U-100)
This is only an example calculation. You can use a different diluent volume — plug your own numbers into the calculator. Open calculator →
Research protocols
Selank: reference regimens
Selank is supplied as a lyophilized peptide for reconstitution.
In the cited protocols the dose is counted not in mg per dose but in micrograms per application, multiplied by how many times a day it is used.
