1Overview
“An oral thymus/pineal/marrow course and, if appropriate, TA-1 under a clinician. This is not a protocol that "destroys pathogens." LL-37 can cause ugly local and Herxheimer-type reactions. If you have pneumonia, you need a hospital, not a stack.”
Ideal Candidates
Contraindications
2The Science
Thymic involution is real. Vladonix is the oral cytomax aimed at that gland; Thymalin is the injectable extract (different product, different route). TA-1 has the most conventional immune-peptide literature of this page. Selank shows up for IL-6 / "sick feeling" modulation in community use. LL-37 and KPV are downstream tools with real risk.
3Clinical Evidence
Key Findings
Thymosin alpha-1 has clinical literature as an immune modulator (including orphan-drug history); it is not a substitute for indicated antimicrobials
Khavinson thymic peptides (Thymalin injectable vs Vladonix oral) are different products. Do not treat a capsule as 10 mg IM Thymalin.
LL-37 human "biohacker" protocols are not RCTs for biofilm eradication
Study Limitations
- ⚠We will not list fake "unbreakable immunity" stats.
- ⚠Thymalin in Atlas athletic tables is often mislabeled as capsules. On this site Thymalin is the injectable extract.
3The Peptide Stack
Vladonix
View Profile →Thymus cytomax. Hardware, not an antibiotic.
Mechanism: Thymic cytamine; oral, empty stomach.
Endoluten
View Profile →Pineal cytomax in the same Protector 3 mapping as the longevity page.
Mechanism: Oral pineal complex.
Bonomarlot
View Profile →Marrow cytomax in the triad.
Mechanism: Oral hematopoietic complex.
Thymosin Alpha-1
View Profile →Best-documented immune peptide on this list. Still not a DIY sepsis drug.
Mechanism: Immune modulator; SubQ, typically 2x weekly in community protocols.
Selank
View Profile →Anxiolytic peptide with IL-6 notes in the literature. Acute stress adjunct, not a vaccine.
Mechanism: Intranasal or SubQ.
LL-37
View Profile →Cathelicidin AMP. Experimental, reactive, easy to overdo.
Mechanism: Membrane-disrupting peptide; titrate or skip.
Alpha-MSH fragment used for inflammatory tone in gut/skin stacks.
Mechanism: Anti-inflammatory tripeptide; oral or SubQ.
4Protocol Tiers
Tier 1: Protector 3 leaves (immune read)
Vladonix + Endoluten + Bonomarlot. Same three leaves as the longevity triad, different job-to-be-done.
Tier 2: TA-1 + Selank
Clinician-directed TA-1 blocks. Selank if anxiety/inflammation-feel is the bottleneck.
Tier 3: LL-37 / KPV (experimental)
Not for "I have a cold." Local reactions are common. Stop for systemic illness that needs real medicine.
5Lifestyle Integration
Peptides are one input in a larger system. Without these non-negotiable lifestyle factors, even the best protocol will underperform.
🏋️Training
Do not crush yourself with two-a-days while "optimizing immunity."
🥗Nutrition
Protein, vitamin D if deficient, sleep. Peptide pages do not replace vaccines or indicated drugs.
🌙Sleep
Endoluten is an adjunct to darkness and a consistent bedtime.
🧘Stress Management
Cortisol is immunosuppressive. Selank is a tool, not a personality.

7Monitoring & Safety
Key Metrics to Track
Troubleshooting
I got sicker on LL-37
- Die-off / inflammation
- Actual infection getting worse
- Stop LL-37
- Get medical care
- Do not dose-escalate
Autoimmune flare
- Immune peptides are not selective magic
- Stop
- Call the specialist who owns that diagnosis
