What are the most common mistakes with Selank?
The most common Selank mistakes are treating it as immediate-relief like a benzo (it's gentler, builds over days); confusing it with Semax (different mechanism, different use case); storing the nasal spray at room temp long term. Most issues people run into come down to protocol and expectations, not the compound itself. Going in informed matters here because human evidence for Selank is limited.
