Thymosin Alpha-1 / Thymalin

Immunomodulatory thymic peptide.

What it does

What Thymosin Alpha-1 / Thymalin is and why doctors prescribe it.

Thymosin alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino-acid peptide derived from the thymic peptide thymosin fraction 5. It's approved in over 35 countries (under brand names like Zadaxin) for hepatitis B/C and other immune-related indications, but is not FDA-approved in the United States. Under FDA review for 503A access.

How it works

Mechanism in plain English.

Thymosin alpha-1 modulates innate and adaptive immunity through effects on dendritic cell maturation, T-cell activation, and Toll-like receptor signaling. The clinical applications in approved markets focus on chronic viral infections and immune support.

How long it's been studied

Research history.

Thymosin alpha-1 has been clinically studied since the 1970s. Trials in chronic hepatitis B/C, immune support during chemotherapy, and infectious disease have produced a substantial international evidence base. Cannot currently be compounded under 503A in the U.S.

Dosing

Clinical context for the prescribing doctor.

Pending regulatory clarity. International dosing protocols use 1.6–6.4 mg subcutaneously twice weekly for chronic indications, doctor-prescribed.
