How It Works

  1. Decide which peptide you think is right for you. Not sure which one? Our nurse will help you choose.
  2. Link up with us on the phone or video. Pick a time with our nurse, then fill out a short health form (about 10 minutes). If it’s right for you, you can get your prescription the same day, on the call.
  3. Get the product shipped to your house, or pick it up in the store. Then we’ll discuss the best way for you to get it, whether you pick it up at our clinic or have it shipped to your house at no extra charge.

Are Semax and Selank Right for You?

These nootropic peptides are prescribed after a consultation. People usually ask about them for focus and a steadier baseline, not as a substitute for treating an underlying condition.

Adults who want sharper focus during demanding work

People seeking a calmer, more even stress response

Anyone curious about nootropic support alongside good sleep and habits

What Semax and Selank Are Studied For

Selank is studied mainly for its calming, anxiety-reducing effects.

Semax, a related peptide, is studied for attention, memory and stress resilience.

Both are research peptides, prescription only.

Focus, attention, and mental clarity

Memory and cognitive performance under load

A calmer response to stress and anxiety

Overall mood and resilience

What the Research Shows

Our Semax and Selank come together in one bottle. Nearly all research on both comes from Russian groups, much of it in animals and in Russian-language journals, and the human studies are small.

2006, Rats, Semax (Journal of Neurochemistry)

Rats given Semax through the nose had more BDNF, a protein that helps nerve connections adapt, in a forebrain region 3 hours later, but not in the cerebellum.
2006 study on PubMed

2008, 62 Patients With Anxiety, Selank (Zhurnal Nevrologii i Psikhiatrii)

Selank was compared with medazepam, a benzodiazepine, in patients with generalized anxiety or fatigue-related neurasthenia. Anxiety relief on rating scales was similar with both. The abstract describes no placebo group or blinding.
2008 study on PubMed

2026, Review (Frontiers in Aging)

A review of nine peptides proposed for healthy aging, Semax included, found promising lab and animal evidence and limited human evidence for those without FDA approval, but no long-term safety data.
2026 review on PubMed

Neither Semax nor Selank is FDA-approved for any use. These studies don’t show that they treat any condition in people, and safety data in people are limited. Your free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to talk through what is and isn’t known.

Important Information

Most peptides are not FDA-approved for the uses discussed publicly, and are prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider after an individual evaluation. A peptide is not appropriate for everyone, and individual results vary.

Peptide therapy at Cienega Medical is available by prescription only. You start with a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners, who reviews your health history, your goals, and whether a peptide is appropriate for you. If it is, they write the prescription and we prepare it for your visit. If it is not, they will tell you that too.

Selank is a synthetic peptide studied for focus and a steadier response to stress.

Semax, a related peptide, has been studied for attention and memory.

FAQ

  • What is Selank, and what is it studied for?

    Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the structure of tuftsin, a naturally occurring peptide fragment in the body. It has been studied in the context of stress and focus, with research coming largely from Russian studies. The bottle we prescribe pairs Selank with Semax. Which one fits, if either, is a decision your nurse practitioner makes with you at the free consultation.

  • Is Selank FDA-approved?

    No. Selank is not FDA-approved for any use, and neither is Semax, the other peptide in the paired bottle. Your nurse practitioner will go over what is and is not known before prescribing.

  • What are the risks of Selank, and who should avoid it?

    Selank is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to the free consultation.

  • What does it cost, and what is included?

    Bottle prices are listed on this page. Every order includes one medication review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.

  • How do I start?

    Pick a time for a free telehealth visit with a nurse practitioner, by phone or video. Before your visit, you fill out a short health form. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus one medication review fee.

  • Where does my prescription come from?

    Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.

  • How long does a bottle last, and how do refills work?

    That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. You can order as many bottles as your nurse prescribes while you’re on the call, and when you need more, book another call online or call us. Each call where you order adds one $49 medication review. Nothing renews on its own. If you’d like bottles sent on a regular schedule, ask your nurse: it’s worked out case by case, since everyone’s prescription is different.

  • Can I collect it or have it shipped?

    Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the medication review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge.
