Peptide Therapy
THYMOSIN BETA-4
Thymosin Beta 4 is typically found in both types of muscle in the human body: skeletal (the muscles that are required to move) and smooth (muscles such as those in the heart). When damage to tissue occurs, Thymosin Beta 4 is upregulated. Thymosin Beta 4 is released in the body to help people heal from traumas. In the process of healing from injury, Thymosin Beta 4 also acts to reduce the amount of scar tissue and improve flexibility. It also has potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Thymosin is a hormone secreted from the thymus. The thymus is responsible for regulating the immune system and tissue repair. Thymosin Beta 4 is prescribed for acute injury, surgical repair, and patients that were once athletes that accumulated injury over their lifetime. This regenerative peptide therapy acts as a major actin-sequestering molecule and can be taken after cardiac injury for better healing of the tissue in the heart. It is available in injection, oral and topical form.
