02 / EVIDENCE

Selank human and preclinical evidence.

HUMAN
2/5 · Small regional studies

Small Russian-language studies include an active-comparator anxiety trial, without a large independent confirmatory program.

PRECLINICAL
3/5 · Neurobehavioral models

Preclinical work explores anxiety, immune signaling, neurotransmission, and gene expression.

The five-point bars describe the maturity and depth of the evidence base. They do not score effectiveness, safety, or personal suitability.
