Is Thymogen the same as thymalin?
No. Thymogen is one defined peptide of two amino acids, Glu-Trp, with a molecular weight of 333.3 daltons. It was pulled out of Thymalin and developed on its own. Thymalin is a calf thymus extract, a mixture. This site's Thymogen page has a Russian medical report in type 1 diabetes with no comparison group, and a 2024 review that pairs it with its mirror-image form, thymodepressin. Thymalin's record in people is the 266-person death-rate study and the 42-versus-50 COVID-19 study. Pulling a piece out of an extract does not make the extract and the piece the same product. This site does not rank them. Full records at /compounds/thymogen and /compounds/thymalin.
