It is composed of two soft pinkish-grey lobes lying in a bib-like fashion just below the thyroid gland and above the heart. It is also known as the longevity gland.The thymus produces T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell responsible for cell-mediated immunity. This term refers to immune mechanisms not controlled or mediated by antibodies. Cell-mediated immunity is extremely important in resisting infection by mold-like bacteria: yeast, fungi, parasites, viruses, toxins and allergens. The function of the thymus gland is to program white blood cells, the bodys immune army, in their various tasks and then send them into the blood to recognize and destroy pathogens. It instructs certain T-cells what to attack and when. Some of the T-cells, in turn, control other white cells, which are responsible for maintaining certain antibodies. Without the thymuss instructions, the T-cells may fail to attack enemies like bacteria, viruses, or they may even mistake some of your own cells for an invading enemy and attack youknown as autoimmune disease. Examples of autoimmune disease are: multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, adult-onset diabetes, and rheumatic diseases such as arthritisINGREDIENTS Medicinal Ingredients Ovis aries200 mg Vitamin B625 mg Non-Medicinal Ingredients Cellulose Hypromellose Magnesium Stearate
