Thymuskin was originally developed as a way to stop hair loss for cancer patients who were undergoing chemotherapy. A group of physicians performed placebo controlled, double-blind studies on the effects of this product on hair loss in cancer patients. When the product was rubbed on the patient's scalp before he/she took a chemotherapeutic agent, there was no hair fallout -- hair loss was kept at a minimum.. The German GMP subsequently declared the product to be a preventative measure for hair fallout for chemotherapy patients.

However, it was soon discovered by the research physicians that ThymuSkin was very effective against rare types of hair loss and scalp disorders. So it was declared a treatment for the regrowth of hair. It has been proven to be effective for men 67% of the time, and for women 95% of the time who still have live hair follicles.

What is Thymuskin?
ThymuSkin is a product which is primarily a thymus gland extract preparation made from the thymus gland of a calf, which is a food substance. All of us have a thymus gland, which produces thymosin. In children the gland is about the size of a walnut but, as we grow older, the thymus gland shrinks. When the thymus shrinks, the production of thymus cells is diminished, impacting the immune system.

So what is thymus then?
The Thymus Gland is a vital human organ located deep in one's chest under the breastbone. The Thymus Gland secretes thymus peptides into the blood, and when strong and functioning properly, acts as a regulator of the immune system which produces anti-bodies to fight disease and disorders which may number in the thousands.

As we age, the Thymus Gland shrinks, and this condition correlates with the production of "autoimmune" diseases. The word "autoimmune" is defined as; an immune response of the body against one of it's own tissues or types of cells. Many specialists believe that baldness is an autoimmune disease in which the balding person's own white blood cells are recognizing hair follicles as "foreign proteins" which need to be eliminated. Thus, through a myriad of chemical conversions, the weakening immune system produces auto antibodies which are directly responsible for the attack, deterioration and eventual death of the hair follicles. As our thymus gland shrinks, many parts of the weakening immune system may go into dysfunction. This is VISUALLY apparent in balding persons due to the fact that you can SEE their autoimmune response in the form of thinning hair.

Expert Immunologists in the United States and Germany involved in independent laboratory research have concluded beyond any doubt, that the peptide molecules of the thymus extract (thymosin) found in ThymuSkin are extremely active in stimulating the human immune system. Thus, ThymuSkin helps hold off the aging process as well. When extra thymosin protomorphogen are added to the blood, an increase resistance to infections, cancer and age related deterioration takes place. The most convenient method is to massage the thymus extract into the scalp to preserve hair against possible fallout, regrow hair that's been lost, and simultaneously boost the immune system.

The product ThymuSkin contains large quantities of granular extract containing thymosin made from the thymuses of calves. This extract is prepared by a specialized refining process which leaves the active thymosin in the tissue, which in turn may be applied topically and absorbed through the scalp and into the blood, causing an autoimmune neutralization effect (thus the hair regrowth) along with significant immune system boosting benefits. All this form an all natural substance which produces no adverse effects.

ThymuSkin's formulation for application as a cosmetic is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the Canadian Health Protection Branch and the German Federal public health office (Bundesgesundheitsamt), among others.
