Thymosin Alpha-1 reconstitution calculator.
Immune-modulating peptide (brand name Zadaxin) that activates T-cell and NK-cell function. A 5 mg vial in 2 mL bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL — the standard clinical dose is 1.6 mg subq, 2× per week.
★Thymosin Alpha-1 dose ranges between 1.6 mg to 3.2 mg (1.6–3.2 mg, 2×/week)
Draw the plunger to 64 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
That’s 0.640 mL of solution, or 1.6 mg of peptide.

Thymosin Alpha-1 questions, answered.
What's the standard Thymosin Alpha-1 dose?+
1.6 mg subq, twice per week — the dosing used in the FDA-approved Zadaxin protocol for chronic hepatitis B and as a cancer-adjuvant therapy. From a 5 mg / 2 mL mix at 2.5 mg/mL, that's 64 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
What's Thymosin Alpha-1 actually used for off-label?+
Immune support during chronic infections (Lyme, CMV, EBV reactivation), recovery from acute viral illness, and as an adjunct in autoimmune protocols. Animal data also suggests modest improvements in vaccine response in older adults.
How long do I need to run it?+
Protocols vary. Chronic immune support typically runs 8–12 week cycles followed by a 4-week break. Acute illness protocols are 2–3 weeks at 1.6 mg, 3× per week. Long-term continuous use isn't well characterized in the literature.
