(11 mg Vial Protocol + Syringe Filter Guide) ====================================================================== WHAT IS SELANK? ====================================================================== Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, a naturally occurring immune-modulating peptide in the human body. Originally developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it acts as a nootropic and anxiolytic. * Primary Mechanisms: Modulates GABAergic neurotransmission, balances serotonin and dopamine, and upregulates BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). * Key Benefits: Researched for reducing anxiety, eliminating brain fog, and improving mental clarity without sedation or motor impairment. * Sleep Support: Promotes deeper, higher-quality restorative sleep by lowering evening cortisol reactivity, calming a racing mind, and stabilizing nervous system tone. ====================================================================== MATERIALS REQUIRED ====================================================================== 1. Selank: 1 vial (11 mg lyophilized powder) 2. Nasal Sprayer: Snoot! 30 mL Amber Glass Sprayer (calibrated to dispense 0.1 mL / 10 IU per metered spray) 3. Bacteriostatic Solvent: 30 mL Bacteriostatic 0.9% Sodium Chloride 4. Drawing Syringes: Standard 3 mL or 5 mL luer-lock syringes 5. Mixing Needles: 23G x 1-inch needles (for drawing and reconstitution) 6. Filtration Setup: Sterile Syringe Filter (PES membrane, 0.2 um pore size, 13 mm diameter) + 25G x 5/8-inch needle 7. Sterilization: Alcohol prep pads ====================================================================== THE MATH (250 mcg - 500 mcg PER DOSE) ====================================================================== * Target Concentration: 2.5 mg/mL (250 mcg per 0.1 mL spray) * Total Volume Required: 11 mg / 2.5 mg/mL = 4.4 mL total * Volume Distribution: - 2.4 mL injected directly into the Snoot! glass bottle - 2.0 mL injected into the Selank vial for reconstitution

These two suckers will be my first attempt at making a nose spray. For my attempt I will not be using sterile sailing water, instead, I'm going to use Saline Nasal Moisturizing Spray that contains sodium chloride 0.65 percent, phenylcarbinol and benzalkonium chloride as preservatives so it can last 28 to 30 days after reconstitution.

When planning a growth hormone secretagogue protocol, one of the biggest debates often comes down to cost versus targeted results—specifically around visceral fat reduction. Tesamorelin is widely recognized as the gold standard in clinical literature because it is specifically FDA-approved and backed by solid human clinical trials demonstrating a significant reduction in deep visceral adipose tissue. Other GHRH analogs (like CJC-1295 / Mod GRF 1-29) stimulate endogenous GH release and theoretically aid lipolysis, but they lack the same extensive, dedicated human trial data specifically measuring visceral fat loss. The trade-off, however, shows up quickly in the pricing: - CJC-1295 (No DAC) + Ipamorelin Blend (5mg / 5mg): ~$89.29 per kit (plus shipping & fees) - Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin Blend (10mg / 5mg): ~$242.00 per kit (plus shipping & fees) That is a fairly significant price spread. For general body composition, recovery, sleep, and overall GH elevation, the CJC/Ipamorelin route offers a much lower cost of entry. But for research focused specifically on stubborn visceral fat where human data matters most, Tesamorelin remains the primary compound with clinical proof behind that specific mechanism. What has been your experience? For those who have run both, did the visceral fat results from Tesamorelin justify the higher price tag over standard CJC-1295/Ipamorelin blends?

Good afternoon! Ordered Tesa to add to my Reta I’m taking. Currently at 2mg/wk with Reta. Looking to tackle the visceral fat with Tesa. I’m not taking any other peps…for now at least 😏 Any suggestions for dosing to everyone out there taking a similar amount of Reta? I was thinking of starting with 0.5mg or 1.0mg daily, Mon-Fri. Probably leaning toward the lower dose because I’m reading a lot about water retention. I currently weigh 187 lbs, down from 265 lbs a year and a half ago. Curious if I should also take at night before bed or in the morning after waking. Usually wake up around 6:30a, and have breakfast (Ratio Pro-Fiber yogurt w/ 5g creatine, alongside some chicken breast). I have 1 cup of black coffee as well. Then I don’t eat until about 4:30p when I get home from work and have a protein shake, and then a little after have some tunafish. Around 6-6:30p have dinner. Sometimes I snack a little until about 9-9:30. Usually heading to bed around 10-10:30p. Since I’m on Reta and that slows gastric emptying, don’t really know the optimal time to take Tesa. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and love this community!
