Thymuskin has been used successfully for more than 40 years to combat hair loss and promote hair growth. The dermatological system works for both women and men and is very well tolerated.
The biological activity of thymuskin is particularly evident in the activation of hair cells (keratinocytes), which have a decisive influence on hair growth. Hair formation is stimulated.
The thymus gland is an important organ of the lymphatic system. The thymus plays a special role in the immune system. It produces T lymphocytes, which recognize foreign substances in the body such as bacteria or viruses. Research has shown that thymus peptides have a regenerating and strengthening effect on the upper structures of the scalp, which surround the hair root and anchor the hair in the scalp.
Thymuskin contains mainly short-chain peptides, which are also found in natural thymus hydrolysate. Thanks to the process of controlled peptide synthesis, the ingredients can always be produced in a consistent quality. In over 40 years of application experience, the products are characterized by very good, dermatologically confirmed tolerance.
Depending on the preparation, the GKL-02 Thymic Peptide Complex is enriched with other excipients. It also contains plant proteins and vitamins B, E and F. This means that Thymuskin products can be tailored to the different needs of the scalp and hair.
The effectiveness of Thymuskin in the various forms of hair loss has been confirmed in several clinical studies. The biological effectiveness depends on the sufficient concentration, the duration of application and the presence of intact hair follicles.
An independent study² has now analyzed the cellular process of hair growth in more detail and found that the thymus peptide thymulin acts as a direct modulator of hair follicle growth. In laboratory tests, the thymus peptide led to remarkably high growth rates in human hair follicles.
Thymulin fractions are a component of the GKL-02 Thymic Peptide Complex and thus stimulate the hair formation process in Thymuskin Shampoo and Thymuskin Serum. Natural hair growth is supported.
