Thymosin Alpha-1- Summary
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that declines dramatically with age. It is critical for energy metabolism, DNA repair, and sirtuin activation. IV and subcutaneous NAD+ supplementation is used in anti-aging protocols and addiction recovery programs.
- 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.
