Thymalin
Thymic peptide extract complex
A thymic peptide preparation studied in Eastern European gerontology literature for immune restoration in older cohorts.
How it works
Described as restoring thymic-dependent T lymphocyte differentiation and normalizing helper to suppressor cell ratios.
What research has shown
Long-term Russian cohort studies report improved immune indices and reduced mortality; independent replication is limited.
Reported ranges in the literature
Low end
5 mg daily for short courses
Optimal
10 mg daily for 5 to 10 day courses
High end
20 mg daily in reported intensive courses
Frequency reported in the literature: Daily in short repeated courses
Protocol duration and pairing
Typical study duration
10 to 20 day courses, repeated seasonally in the published protocols.
Best paired with
Thymalin and Epitalon together form the classic bioregulator pairing in that literature.
