| Thymus Gland - Organic Glandular. Thymus Organic Glandular supports the function of the thymus gland, the master gland of the immune system. This organic glandular material is processed by lyophilization of glands derived from government-inspected, range-fed animals, raised in New Zealand without hormones or antibiotics. The material is frozen, then subjected to high vacuum that vaporizes moisture directly from the solid state, thereby maintaining biological activity of the material.
The name thymus comes from a supposed resemblance to the bud of the herb thyme (in Latin, thymus). The thymus is also called the thymus gland. The thymus gland is a pink-grey organ that lies underneath the top of the breast bone. In animals it is known as the sweetbreads. Experiments done on animals have shown that if the thymus is removed before birth the baby will accept an organ transplant without rejecting it. the thymus gland grows rapidly and attains its greatest size relative to the rest of the body during fetal life and the first years after birth. The thymus gland lies just beneath the upper part of the breastbone in the middle of the chest. It is present in all mammals, and is called the sweetbread in calves.
