What is Thymosin Alpha-1?
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Ta1) is a peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland. It is a potent immune modulator used to boost the immune system in fighting chronic viral infections, cancer, and autoimmune conditions.

It modulates the immune system by augmenting T-cell function. It stimulates the production of T-cells, increases NK cell activity, and helps balance the Th1/Th2 immune response.
