Thymosin Alpha-1 peptide calculator
A 10 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water holds 5 mg/ml. A 1.6 mg dose is 0.32 ml — 32 units on a U-100 insulin syringe — and the vial holds 6 doses of that size.
Thymosin Alpha-1 dosage chart: units to draw
Units on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 ml) for Thymosin Alpha-1 doses from 800 mcg to 3.2 mg, by how much bacteriostatic water is in a 10 mg vial. The highlighted row is the 1.6 mg dose used above.
| Dose | 1 ml water 10 mg/ml | 2 ml water 5 mg/ml | 3 ml water 3.33 mg/ml | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 mcg | 8 u 0.080 ml | 16 u 0.16 ml | 24 u 0.24 ml | 12 |
| 1.6 mg | 16 u 0.16 ml | 32 u 0.32 ml | 48 u 0.48 ml | 6 |
| 2.4 mg | 24 u 0.24 ml | 48 u 0.48 ml | 72 u 0.72 ml | 4 |
| 3.2 mg | 32 u 0.32 ml | 64 u 0.64 ml | 96 u 0.96 ml | 3 |
A 32-unit draw fits a 0.5 ml insulin syringe (50-unit capacity) with 1-unit markings.
Unit math only, not a dosing recommendation. The dose range is what published protocols and trials describe; see the Thymosin Alpha-1 guide for sources.
How to reconstitute Thymosin Alpha-1
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the Thymosin Alpha-1 vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Storage for Thymosin Alpha-1: Lyophilized refrigerated. Reconstituted: refrigerated, use within 28 days.
- For a 1.6 mg dose, draw to the 32-unit mark (0.32 ml) on a U-100 insulin syringe.
About Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a natural immunomodulatory peptide originally isolated from the thymus. It is studied for its effects on T-cell function, chronic viral infection, and post-illness immune recovery.
Half-life: Approximately 2 hours
Typical dose range: 1.6 mg subcutaneous, 2x weekly (typical protocols)
Class: 28-amino-acid immunomodulatory peptide
Regulatory status: Approved in ~35 countries for hepatitis B/C; not FDA approved in the US (Zadaxin). Widely used compounded in research settings.

Thymosin Alpha-1 calculator FAQ
Is this a Thymosin Alpha-1 peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This Thymosin Alpha-1 calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 10 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 1.6 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 dose?
32 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, when a 10 mg vial is mixed with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water (5 mg/ml). That is 0.32 ml. With a different amount of water the unit count changes — the dose chart on this page lists 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml mixes.
How many doses are in a 10 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial?
6 doses of 1.6 mg. The number of doses depends only on vial strength and dose size — adding more or less water changes the volume of each draw, not how many draws the vial holds.
Does this Thymosin Alpha-1 dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether Thymosin Alpha-1 is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
