Gonadorelin
Summary
Thymagen is a dipeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, tissue-specific for the thymus gland. It supports T-lymphocyte maturation, thymic function, and immune system normalization. As the thymus involutes with age (thymic atrophy), immune competence declines. Thymagen is used to support immune restoration, particularly in aging, post-illness recovery, and immunodeficiency states.
Gonadorelin is the synthetic form of endogenous GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone). It stimulates the pituitary to release LH and FSH, maintaining testicular function and testosterone production. Widely used alongside TRT to prevent testicular atrophy and preserve fertility.

Research
Typical Dose
10 mg per day
100 mcg
Frequency
Daily for 10–30 days
Twice daily (every 12 hours)
Key Benefits
  • Supports thymic epithelial cell function and T-cell maturation
  • May partially restore thymic output reduced by age-related atrophy
  • Normalizes T-lymphocyte subpopulation balance
  • Supports immune recovery after illness, surgery, or chemotherapy
  • Anti-aging effects on thymic tissue
  • Complementary to Thymosin Alpha-1 and Thymalin in immune protocols
  • May improve vaccine responsiveness in older individuals
  • Maintains testicular size during TRT
  • Preserves fertility and sperm production during testosterone use
  • Stimulates endogenous LH/FSH production
  • Maintains HPG axis function during exogenous hormone use
  • Used for HCG-free TRT protocols
  • Helps restart natural testosterone production (PCT)
