Thymulin
PH-THYM-001
Specifications
Description
Thymulin is a special hormone that helps our immune system work properly. It's made by cells in the thymus, a gland in our body that helps our immune system learn what's friendly and what's not. Thymulin has zinc in it, which is important for it to work correctly.
How Does it Work?
Thymulin helps our immune cells, called T-cells, grow and develop. It also helps them learn what to do and when to do it. This is important for keeping us healthy and fighting off sicknesses (Reggiani et al., 2009). Thymulin works with zinc to make sure our immune system is strong (Dardenne & Bach, 1989).
