In Plain English
A thymus gland extract containing a cocktail of immune-boosting peptides. Restores immune function that naturally fades with age — like re-calibrating your body's defense system back to a younger state. Russian clinical data shows impressive longevity results.
Overview
Thymalin is a polypeptide extract derived from the calf thymus gland. It contains a mixture of short regulatory peptides including Thymosin fractions. Research indicates it can restore immune system function in aging individuals and in those with compromised immunity from disease or chemotherapy. Notable for longevity research — one Russian study found significantly improved survival in aged subjects over 6 years.
Common Formats
- Injectable (intramuscular)
- Injectable (subcutaneous)
Storage Notes
