Thymosin Alpha-1
Summary
Livagen is a dipeptide bioregulator (Lys-Glu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the liver and thymus. It supports hepatocyte function, promotes liver cell regeneration, and modulates immune function via thymic activity. Research suggests benefits in chronic liver disease, hepatic aging, and immune restoration following liver damage.
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a naturally occurring 28-amino acid peptide derived from the thymus gland. It is a powerful immune modulator approved in many countries for treating chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and as an adjunct in cancer immunotherapy.
