Description
Thymalin is a polypeptide extract derived from the thymus gland, composed of multiple short-chain peptides. It functions as an immune system modulator and has been studied primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe for its potential to restore thymic function and enhance immune response. As a bioregulator peptide, it is believed to support the body's natural regulatory mechanisms, particularly those related to immune function and aging.
Usage
Typical research protocols involve subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of 5-20mg per day for 5-10 consecutive days, followed by a rest period. Cycles are often repeated monthly or quarterly depending on research objectives. Some protocols use 10mg every other day for 10-20 doses. Reconstituted peptide should be refrigerated and used within recommended timeframes.
Mechanism of Action
Thymalin acts on the thymus gland to promote T-lymphocyte maturation and differentiation, enhancing cellular immunity. The peptide complex interacts with thymic epithelial cells to regulate immune cell production and function. It appears to normalize immune system parameters by modulating cytokine production and improving the balance between different T-cell populations, potentially reversing age-related thymic involution.
