How to Use Thymogen
Complete guide to Thymogen dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
Thymogen is the brand name for L-Glu-L-Trp (glutamyl-tryptophan, the dipeptide EW), an immune-modulating peptide isolated from the calf thymus extract Thymalin. It is the smallest active piece of that thymic complex and is studied for boosting T-cell activity and immune function. It has been used clinically in Russia since 1990 but has never been evaluated or approved by any Western regulator, and rigorous independent trials are lacking.
