Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Ta1)
A powerful immune-modulating peptide naturally produced by the thymus gland. FDA orphan drug status for hepatitis B and approved in 35+ countries. Used for chronic infections, cancer immunotherapy support, immune aging, and long COVID recovery.
How Thymosin Alpha-1 Works
Thymosin Alpha-1 activates toll-like receptors on dendritic cells, promotes T-cell differentiation and maturation in the thymus, enhances NK cell cytotoxicity, and modulates cytokine balance toward an anti-tumor, anti-viral immune response.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Stimulates T-cell maturation, NK cell activity, and dendritic cell function. One of the most comprehensively studied immune peptides.
