Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So this is where the interest in thymic peptides is very elusive.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

We have to figure out if the STPs or the PTEs are the more interesting ones.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

There's synthetic thymic peptides, thymus alpha-1, thymus beta-4, thymulin, and there's purified thymic extracts.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

this is the two different research committees that exist when it comes to thymus, which one will be more advantageous?

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Vladimir Kavinsky came up with the thymolin injectable and oral versions of that.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

And he had positive immune markers and he showed like CD4 cells come up and CD8 cells improve and all those immune markers become a more youthful state, let's say.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

But unfortunately what's happening here is

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

we don't have thymologists, like we don't have a branch of medicine that's dedicated to this aspect of immunity.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Like there's, you know, allergy and immunologists, but they focus more on, you know,

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

allergies to different agents or very severe immune diseases.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

They're not really addressing the immunity of the general public and how you can boost that.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

And I think post-pandemic, a lot of people started asking, hey, how can I have better immunity for myself?

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

And now, finally, people are starting to talk about the thymus.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Unfortunately, it's been a little too late.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

That would have been great during the pandemic because

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

we could have used these thymic-focused interventions, whether it be zinc or thymic peptides or purified thymic extracts to augment immunity of the population as a whole, especially because Dr. Javinson was doing this in the 70s in Russia.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Even in Russia, they don't really look kindly to this research.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The Soviet era research has been kind of pushed aside and it's like more big farmer style because it's more profitable because how many thymuses are you going to inject into people and how many thymuses exist on the planet to make these different peptides from?

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yeah.

So it'd be very interesting if we can get that.
