Thymosin Alpha-1 (or TA-1)
Immune support, and anti-depressant. 1-6mg per week. Use when you feel a sickness coming on.
Here is a study on it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11762651/
Many people who struggle with depression do not present as “sick.” They present as tired, inflamed, unmotivated, flat, anxious, or disconnected. Underneath that presentation, however, there is often chronic low-grade immune activation or immune dysregulation that TA-1 addresses.
TA-1 is the most clinically documented immune peptide we have. Many other countries were smart enough to approve it long ago. We’re just behind here. It has been approved in around 37 countries under the name Zadaxin, and over 600,000 patients have used it in clinical settings. We’re talking about large trials, meta-analyses, a phase-three sepsis program, and a deep base of cancer literature.
The easiest way to picture it is a thermostat for your immune system. When your immune response is weak or worn out, it brings it up. When it’s overheated and starting to attack your own body, it brings it back down. It just nudges you toward wherever balance is for you in that moment. So it’s more of a modulator than a booster.
You also make less TA-1 during serious illness. Chronic infections, sepsis, cancer, and big physical stress all drive your own production down. So your body pulls back on it right when you need it the most. That’s kind of the whole point of supplementing. When you need it most is exactly when you make the least.
Use Cases
The most obvious one is the older adult with a fading immune system. Think late 60s and up, the person who catches everything and takes forever to get over it.
Then theres people with lingering fatigue. A lot of these folks have exhaused T cells. The cells are still there, they’ve just stopped working, and TA-1 helps wake them back up.
It also has real data in cancer studies, though that’s always something to run with your oncologist. And worldwide, chronic hep B is actually its strongest indication of all.
Also high output, high stress, high travel situations. When you are jet lagged and constantly getting thrown into new environments.
Who doesn’t need it? Healthy adults who already feel good. If your immune system is already running well, there’s nothing there for it to modulate.
Dosage:0.5-2.0mg, 2-3 times per week.
3mg vial with 1cc BAC and 25 units per dose = 0.75mg per dose.
10mg vial with 1cc BAC = 20 units for 2mg
