THE LONGEVITY PEPTIDE
Thymalin
The original thymic peptide for immune rejuvenation
Also known as: A-6 Thymic Peptide Extract
Overview
Thymalin is one of the most studied thymic peptides, developed by Dr. Khavinson in Russia. It enhances T-cell production, balances immune responses, and has shown remarkable anti-aging effects in long-term studies - including increased lifespan in human trials. It works through epigenetic mechanisms to reactivate genes silenced by aging.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
Thymopoiesis
Upregulates IL-7 receptor, FOXN1, and Notch1
Epigenetic Modulation
Modifies histone acetylation and DNA methylation
Telomerase Activation
Reactivates hTERT for telomere maintenance
Nrf2 Pathway
Activates HO-1, NQO1 antioxidant genes
