Thymogen
peptide · headlineResearch use onlyStimulates thymus-derived lymphocyte differentiation
Summary
Thymogen is a thymic-derived short peptide immunomodulator that promotes T-cell activity, immune rebalancing, and resistance to infection. It is widely used in Eastern European protocols to support immune function, particularly in cases of immunodeficiency, chronic infection, or age-related immune decline.
How it works
- Stimulates thymus-derived lymphocyte differentiation
- Enhances T-cell receptor expression and immunologic memory
- Regulates cytokine production and immune signaling cascades
Dosing
- unit: mcglow dose: 50frequency: Once dailyhigh dose: 150standard dose: 100administration route: Subcutaneous (SQ)
Cycling
- Administer daily for 10–14 days. Repeat cycle every 3–6 months or as needed based on immune status.
Side effects
common: ["Redness or soreness at injection site","Mild fatigue"]
warnings: ["Not recommended for use in autoimmune disorders due to potential for immune overstimulation"]
long term: ["May lead to immune exhaustion or imbalance with extended use; monitor in chronic administration"]
Chemistry & PK
sequence: H-Ala-Lys-Glu-Asp-OH
half life: Approximately 60 minutes
degradation: Broken down by proteases in plasma and liver
molecular weight: 453.53
molecular formula: C22H33N6O5
tissue specificity: Preferentially targets thymus, spleen, and peripheral immune cells
