Thymus Extract
Thymic Peptide Bioregulator | Immune Modulator
DoseGear research brief
Thymalin is a natural peptide bioregulator derived from calf thymus gland, developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It contains a mixture of thymic peptides that support immune restoration, anti-aging, and tissue regeneration. Research spanning decades has shown significant geroprotective effects, with studies demonstrating up to 2-fold reduction in mortality rates and 4-fold reduction when combined with Epithalamin.
Thymalin's immunoprotective action stems from short peptides (KE, EW, EDP) that specifically bind to double-stranded DNA and histone proteins to regulate gene expression. It stimulates differentiation and activity of T-lymphocytes, especially CD4+ and CD8+ cells, promotes cytokine regulation, enhances antigen response, and stimulates stem cell differentiation. It also affects gerontogene activity and immune system protein synthesis.
Compound background
Study windows describe what researchers measured, not when an individual should expect a result.
Calf-thymus peptide extract developed in Soviet-era research.
Immune regulation and aging-related research involving mixed thymic-peptide immunoregulatory effects.
A cited elderly-subject study followed outcomes over 6–8 years; this does not establish short-term onset or prove longevity benefit.
