What is Thymulin?
Thymulin is a naturally occurring thymic peptide with zinc-dependent biological activity. It has been studied for immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and wound-repair signaling.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
immune normalization
wound-healing support
anti-inflammatory signaling
stress-immune modulation
Research Summary
Thymulin has been examined in preclinical models for its ability to normalize immune responses and influence tissue repair. Literature links it to improved wound closure, inflammatory balance, and neuroendocrine-immune interactions.

EGF
Human Epidermal Growth Factor
EGF is a small endogenous growth factor that drives epithelial cell migration and proliferation during tissue repair. It has been studied for burns, ulcers, and mucosal healing because it can accelerate re-epithelialization.

Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2
FGF2 is a potent mitogen involved in angiogenesis, fibroblast expansion, and granulation tissue formation. It is widely studied in skin repair, ischemic tissue recovery, and chronic wound models.

Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB
rhPDGF-BB is a dimeric growth factor that recruits fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells into the wound bed. It has a well-known role in chronic wound care, especially diabetic foot ulcers, where it supports granulation and closure.

Recombinant Human Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF, FGF7)
Palifermin is a truncated recombinant form of keratinocyte growth factor that protects and expands epithelial tissues. It is most recognized for mucosal protection, but the same biology is relevant to epithelial recovery and healing.
