Thymulin Research Guide

Full name: Thymulin (Facteur Thymique Serique)

A zinc-dependent nonapeptide secreted by thymic epithelial cells that is essential for T-cell differentiation. Levels decline dramatically with thymic involution during aging.

How Thymulin Works

Binds to specific receptors on T-cell precursors promoting their differentiation into mature T-cells, modulates cytokine production, and requires zinc as cofactor.

Dosing Protocol

• Typical dose: 1-5 mg
• Frequency: 2-3x per week
• Duration: 4-8 weeks
• Route: Subcutaneous injection

Reported Benefits

• T-cell maturation support
• Thymic function restoration
• Zinc-dependent immune activation
• Anti-inflammatory properties

Potential Side Effects

• Injection site reaction
• Mild fatigue
• Transient joint aches
