Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    Summary
    Biochemically, thymosin alpha-1 has been isolated from combined crab visceral and nervous tissue by reverse phase HPLC.

    Summary
    Thymosin alpha-1, like reactivity, was found in several different species (insects, crab, protozoan, fungus and bacteria) by radioimmunoassay and immune fluorescence and as an extracellular product from the bacterial genus Mycobacterium.

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin alpha-1. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
