Thymulen®4

A novel, Biomimetic peptide designed after our very own natural Youth Protein…

Galen of Pergamon, an ancient Greek Physician and Philosopher, was the first to note that the human thymus shrinks as we age. The thymus plays a critical role in the development of a healthy immune system as we begin life. However, the vanishing act performed by the thymus, is also directly linked to our immune system’s shortcomings as we get older. Our skin, supported by the immune system, is directly affected by these deficiencies and as a result is encouraged to show the signs of aging.

Thymulen®4 is designed to compensate for the natural loss of thymoproietin (youth protein), an active constituent of the thymus. The biomimetic peptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2) in Thymulen®4 takes a cutting-edge approach to anti-aging by stimulating the creation macrophages and Langerhans cells (part of the immune response system) and reinvigorating the epidermis’ ability to regenerate. These two modes of action lead to a reinforced defense system and promote epidermal restructuring.
