Does selank help with anxiety?
Easing anxiety is its main studied and marketed use. The claimed advantage over drugs like benzodiazepines (sedatives such as those used for anxiety) is that it eases anxiety without making you drowsy. But this site's review found only one study in people for selank. That is real but limited evidence, too thin for a firm, general conclusion, even though the claim itself is specific.
