Thymic immunomodulatory peptide
Thymosin Alpha-1 reconstitution calculator
Thymosin Alpha-1 is commonly supplied as 5 mg, 10 mg vials. Pick a vial size and a water volume to see the concentration and what each syringe mark holds. Enter a target amount to see the draw. This page does not suggest any amount.
Work backwards: pick how many syringe units you want each draw to be, and the calculator tells you how much water gives that concentration.
Example values shown. Larger draws (10 units or more) are easier to measure accurately than very small ones.
Estimate how long a vial lasts and what a protocol costs, from your own price and schedule.
Example values shown. Replace them with your own.

About Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide from the thymus that modulates T-cell and dendritic-cell function. As thymalfasin, it is approved in several countries outside the US for chronic hepatitis B and as a vaccine or chemotherapy adjunct. Large trials in sepsis have not shown a mortality benefit.
Thymosin Alpha-1 calculator questions
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 5 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial?
The calculator does not prescribe a volume; the right choice depends on how large you want each draw to be. As arithmetic: 5 mg in 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 25 mcg. Use the “Water to add” tab to work backwards from a draw size.
What concentration does Thymosin Alpha-1 have after reconstitution?
Concentration is the vial mass divided by the water volume. For example, 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL. Check the certificate of analysis for net peptide content, which is usually lower than the label.
