WHAT IS IT?

LTP is Lyphoactivated Thymic Peptides. Ingredients in each capsule: Thymus Extract (New Zealand Lamb) 600 mg containing: Thymulin, Thymosin, Thymolymphotropin, and other Polypeptides in a base of papain and lecithin liposomes.  Papain 30 mg.  Other ingredients: Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide. The thymus is extracted through a papain hydrolysis process.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

The thymus gland, located beneath the breastbone, is the master gland of the immune system, especially that part responsible for "cell mediated immunity." Specifically, thymus extract stimulates human T-4 helper white blood cells to locate viruses, bacteria and abnormal cells such as cancer, and send out T-8 killer white blood cells to destroy them.

People who do not contract cancer have a strong cell mediated immune response which destroys cancer cells as they are created. This depends upon a plentiful supply of thymus hormone. The bad news is that the thymus gland begins to decline and shrivel after maturity and in many people is not functioning at all by the age of 40. The ability to program T-4 cells is lost. However, T-4 cells are very long lived and even with a nonfunctioning thymus, the ability to mount a cell mediated immunity is not lost for years afterwards. T-4 cells gradually lose their functional ability, though, and become lazy or unprogrammed. Since few or no new T-cells are being produced, no new programming can occur. In older individuals, the ability to identify and destroy cancer cells, bacteria and viruses is severely compromised with disastrous consequences.
