Selank vs Gonadorelin
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
Selank
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Developed in Russia for anxiety and cognitive enhancement.
Full details →Gonadorelin
Gonadorelin is a synthetic form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the pituitary to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), supporting natural hormone production.

| Aspect | Selank | Gonadorelin |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Modulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and affects serotonin and norepinephrine systems. Has immunomodulatory and anxiolytic properties. | Binds to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland, triggering pulsatile release of LH and FSH. This stimulates testicular or ovarian function and natural sex hormone production. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal administration: 250-500mcg 2-3 times daily. Subcutaneous: 250-500mcg daily. | Men: 100-200mcg subcutaneously 2-3 times daily. Women (fertility): Per clinical protocol. HRT support: Often combined with other therapies. |
| Administration | Most commonly administered intranasally for cognitive effects. Can also be injected subcutaneously. | Subcutaneous injection. Pulsatile administration mimics natural GnRH release patterns. Often used during or after testosterone therapy. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Some users report mild fatigue or nasal irritation with intranasal use. | Headache, flushing, injection site reactions. In women may cause ovarian hyperstimulation. Generally well-tolerated. |
