Thymosin Alpha-1

Reported and studied benefits of Thymosin Alpha-1 include immune modulation, autoimmune support, antimicrobial effects, oxidative protection, Lyme protocol use, dysfunctional cell elimination support, and chronic fatigue use. The thymus produces thymosin, which stimulates T-cell maturation in the adaptive immune system. Thymosin Alpha-1 is relevant to longevity medicine because its antioxidant properties address oxidative stress, a primary mechanism of cellular aging. Thymosin Alpha-1 has been administered by 30-day subcutaneous protocols, and intranasal preparation also exists. Availability of Thymosin Alpha-1 has been limited or variable depending on FDA regulatory classification. Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28 amino acid peptide produced naturally in the thymus gland.
