Thymulin

Key Benefits
• Supports Immune System Function – Enhances T-cell activity and immune surveillance.
• Anti-Inflammatory Properties – Modulates the immune response and helps reduce chronic inflammation.
• Neuroendocrine Modulation – Affects hormonal and nervous system balance via the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
• Anti-Aging Potential – Studied for its role in age-related immune decline and hormonal dysregulation.
• Synergistic with Zinc – Requires zinc ions for biological activity and optimal efficacy.

Mechanism of Action
• Thymulin binds to T-cell receptors and stimulates their differentiation and responsiveness, boosting immune defense.
• It modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, helping regulate hormonal responses to stress.
• In research, it has shown the ability to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote immune system balance.

Dosage Recommendations
• Typical Dosage – 100–300 mcg per dose, depending on the model and research goals.
• Administration – Commonly administered via subcutaneous injection or intranasal spray in neuroimmune studies.
• Cycling – Often used in cycles of 2–4 weeks in studies involving immune modulation or hormonal support.

Research and Studies
• Animal and in vitro studies show Thymulin enhances immune recovery after stress, chemotherapy, or infection.
• It has shown promise in reducing symptoms in models of autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Also explored for use in neurodegenerative diseases due to its regulatory effect on neuroendocrine pathways.

Possible Side Effects and Contraindications

• Common Side Effects – Generally well-tolerated; rare reports of mild injection site irritation or temporary fatigue.
• Precautions – Not advised for use in subjects with thymus gland abnormalities or untreated autoimmune flare-ups without supervision.
• Drug Interactions – May enhance the effects of other immunomodulators or hormone- regulating agents.

Storage and Handling Instructions
• Store reconstituted Thymulin in a refrigerator at 2–8°C (36–46°F).
• Lyophilized powder should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment until ready for use.
• Ensure sterile handling during reconstitution and administration for optimal stability and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
• Is Thymulin the same as Thymosin?
No — Thymulin is a distinct peptide that regulates immune and neuroendocrine activity, while Thymosins (like TA-1 and TB-4) primarily aid in immune support and tissue repair.
• Can Thymulin be used with zinc supplements?
Yes — zinc is required for Thymulin’s biological activity, and supplementation may enhance its effects in deficient models.
• What are the neuroendocrine benefits?
Thymulin may help balance hormone production, reduce cortisol dysregulation, and improve stress resilience through the HPA axis.
