- Thymalin
- Thymulin receptor agonist. Restores T-cell differentiation
- Pre-T cells, CD4+/CD8+ populations
- 5–10mg subcutaneous every 3–5 days
- Injection only (oral bioavailability near zero)
- Most direct immune restoration mechanism. Restores measurable T-cell counts within 10 days
- KPV
- NF-κB inhibitor. Blocks inflammatory cytokine transcription
- Intestinal epithelial cells, macrophages
- 500mcg–2mg subcutaneous or oral
- Injection or enteric-coated oral (gut-targeted)
- Best for inflammation-driven immune dysfunction. Reduces IL-6 and TNF-alpha without broad immunosuppression
- TB-500
- Actin regulator. Enhances immune cell motility and tissue repair
- Macrophages, neutrophils, endothelial cells
- 2–5mg subcutaneous twice weekly
- Injection only
- Indirect immune support through wound healing and barrier integrity. Not a direct immune modulator
- MK-677
- GH secretagogue. Elevates IGF-1 for thymic maintenance
- Thymus gland, T-cell precursors
- 10–25mg oral daily
- Oral (high bioavailability)
- Supports thymic function over months. Not acute immune rescue but metabolic foundation for long-term immune health
- BPC-157
- VEGF activator. Restores gut barrier and reduces endotoxin translocation
- Intestinal epithelium, vascular endothelium
- 250–500mcg subcutaneous daily
- Injection or oral (gastric-targeted)
- Best for gut-driven immune dysfunction. Restores tight junctions and reduces systemic inflammation from barrier leakage
