Thymalin (25mg)

Description

Thymalin Peptide

Thymalin is a polypeptide isolated from the thymus gland, believed by researchers to help regulate immune functions.⁽²⁾ Studies have suggested that Thymalin, a naturally occurring polypeptide, is primarily found in the young epidermal cells of the thymus gland. With increasing age, the levels of Thymalin decrease, eventually becoming thinned out and non-uniform in nature.⁽⁵⁾

Natural thymic peptides such as Thymalin were first isolated from the thymus gland via a mild acid extraction process. Upon further isolation studies, the proposed immunomodulatory molecule composed by Thymalin (L-Glu-L-Trp) was discovered and researched. This dipeptide molecule in Thymalin may possibly play a role in the peptide mechanism.⁽⁴⁾

While both Thymalin and Thymulin are naturally occurring thymic factors, their mode of action is hypothesized by researchers to different, where Thymalin is a polypeptide that may regulate thymic functions at optimal levels, the Thymulin appears to be a zinc-dependent nonapeptide hormone that may possibly enhance the thymic functions in fighting T-cell suppression.
