What is Thymosin Alpha-1?

Your body makes this peptide naturally.

Made in the thymus, the gland in our body responsible for generating our immune system, Thymosin Alpha-1 is a critical protein messenger that is involved in the proliferation of your T cells (which combat pathogens and viruses). In fact, this peptide is often prescribed to prevent viral, bacterial, and even fungal infections.

Because certain types of T cells fight cancer, Thymosin Alpha-1 has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in some studies. Thymosin Alpha-1 may also combat signs of aging by slowing the age-related deterioration of the immune system and other bodily processes.
