Freezable? ✅ Yes

Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a naturally occurring peptide derived from the thymus gland. It is a critical regulator of the immune system, acting to both stimulate and balance immune responses.

Immunomodulation

Tα1 promotes the maturation of T-cells and the activation of natural killer (NK) cells. It is unique in its ability to selectively enhance the body’s defense against pathogens while also providing anti-inflammatory effects to prevent immune overreaction.

Research and Approval

While still in research in the US, Tα1 is approved in over 35 countries for treating chronic viral infections (like Hepatitis B and C) and as an adjunctive therapy for certain cancers. It is a high-interest compound for researching immune system resilience and aging.

Key Benefits

  • Potent immune system modulation
  • Enhanced T-cell maturation
  • Antiviral and anti-inflammatory
  • Supports recovery from chronic infections

Potential Side Effects

  • Minimal (mild injection site reaction)
