Plain English Summary
Thymalin is a polypeptide complex derived from the thymus gland, primarily recognized for its role in stimulating and modulating the immune system. Developed originally in Russia, it is studied for its potential geroprotective properties, which include improving immunological status, supporting metabolic homeostasis, and potentially increasing lifespan through the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation.
What People Use It For
