Thymalin
Calf Thymus Peptide Fraction (Thymalin)
Thymalin is a thymus-derived peptide preparation, not a single defined sequence, that has been used in Russian literature as an immunomodulator. It is studied for effects on T-cell function, leukocyte recovery, and resilience during infection or recovery states.
Immune SupportThymopentin
L-Arginyl-L-Lysyl-L-Aspartyl-L-Valyl-L-Tyrosine
Thymopentin is a synthetic pentapeptide derived from the active site of thymopoietin. It has been studied as an immunomodulator for supporting T-cell maturation and balancing helper/suppressor responses.
Immune SupportThymogen
L-Glutamyl-L-Tryptophan
Thymogen is a synthetic dipeptide immunomodulator used in Russian literature and markets. It is studied for effects on cellular immunity, recovery from infection, and support of immune balance.
