anxiolytic mechanisms

GABA modulation and enkephalin stabilization without the tradeoffs

anxiety without the usual cost

selank produces anxiolysis through GABA-A receptor modulation and enkephalin stabilization. unlike benzodiazepines, it does not bind the benzodiazepine site. unlike SSRIs, it does not take weeks to work. this unit explains the mechanisms behind that unique profile.
