may be wrong, but i think thymoskins been around since early ninties. i remember when i was 18, and first noticing temple recession i freaked out, and ran to the trichologist thinking it woulod help, and she got me to send away for that stuff. she told me basically the same as minoxidil, it may regrow a cm of temple hair, but you have to use it for life.
subsequently i used it for a few days, thought about it, then chucked it.
im pretty sure if it did anything, it would have the status of minoxidil. since its a big company and has been around so long.
Yeah..I know "Thymuskin" has been around for ages...but was wondering about this "Med" version. I'll be trying Dermaheal before I try this stuff..but maybe someone else will try it out or has used it already. Most run when they see "Thymuskin" though
Increasing vitamin C and biotin intake should support your own thymus. If thymuskin weren't so expensive i'd give it a try. Anyone know where i can find the ingredients for the original formula?

According to the company, it works by countering the antibodies/autoimmune reaction against the fast growing hair follicles. The thymus extract goes directly to the follicles and some of it even travels to your own thymus to support it. The thymus is important for modulating any kind of immune response in the body and when it's weak, autoimmunity and its accompanying inflammation will go up. Vitamin C and biotin keeps the thymus strong. Maybe this is why biotin helps hair. Copper supports it as well, but Cu deficiency is not common in most men especially for those who drink tap water and beer and end up with excess copper leading to chronic zinc deficiency.
but by the time ur an adult the thymus doesnt do much anymore. its shrunken and is just a place for maturation of t-lymphocytes. does the formula have someones t-lymphocytes? lol
