Thymosin

Thymosin is a natural protein produced by the thymus gland, which is located in the chest. It plays a key role in supporting the immune system by helping the body develop and activate T-cells—specialized cells that identify and attack infections and abnormal cells. Thymosin helps regulate immune responses and promotes the maturation of these T-cells. It is also used in medical research and some therapies to enhance immune function, especially in cases of immune deficiency or recovery from illness. Overall, thymosin is essential for maintaining a healthy and effective immune defense.
