Thymopoietin
Thymopoietin (TP)
A thymic hormone that promotes T-cell differentiation and has neuromuscular effects. Thymopentin (TP-5) is a synthetic pentapeptide fragment with immunomodulatory properties.
Mechanism of Action
Thymopoietin promotes T-cell precursor differentiation into mature T-cells. Thymopentin (TP-5) is the active fragment that binds to thymopoietin receptors on T-cell precursors.
Health Claims & Evidence

Immune restoration in immunodeficiency
Neuromuscular effects
Short-Term Effects
Improved T-cell counts and immune function.
Long-Term Effects
Potential immune optimization with repeated courses.
Side Effects
Generally well-tolerated.
Contraindications
Use with caution in autoimmune conditions.
