| Natcell Thymus NF "The Master Gland of Immunity", the thymus gland is located at the base of the neck. It continues to develop after birth and reaches its maximal size during puberty. By age 30, the thymus gland has typically decreased in function by two-thirds and its T-lymphocyte content has decreases by 90%. By age 60, function thymic tissue has almost completely disappeared. It is well know that T-cell immunity gradually decreases with aging. The thymus gland produces not just one, but numerous thymic factors, peptides and signaling factors that are necessary for cellular communication and healthy functioning of the immune system. The decrease in size of the thymus, or "involution", occurs naturally with aging and more rapidly during times of stress and poor nutrition. The key to thymic gland function is the continued production of a variety of peptides. There is no single peptide that is responsible for all thymus gland activity. Therefore, it is important that thymus dietary supplements contain the full complement of thymic peptides.
