## Mechanism
A polypeptide complex extracted from calf thymus, studied as an immune bioregulator. Research suggests restoration of T-cell function and thymic activity in aged and immunocompromised cohorts.

## Research areas
- Immunosenescence
- Recovery from infection in elderly cohorts
- Adjunct in chronic inflammatory conditions

## Common research protocols
- Cyclic intramuscular use: Short courses in Russian clinical protocols.

## Study summaries
- "Thymalin in geriatric patients: long-term outcomes" — Advances in Gerontology (2014): Multi-year follow-up reported reduced morbidity and improved immune markers.

## Considerations
- Approved in Russia; not FDA-approved.
- Mixture composition is not fully characterized.
