Thymosin Alpha-1 Dosing & Reconstitution Chart
How many insulin-syringe units to draw for Thymosin Alpha-1, based on how much bacteriostatic water you add to a 5 mg vial. Every number below is on a U-100 (100 units = 1 mL) syringe and matches our calculator.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 16 u | 30 u | 50 u | 65 u |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 32 u | 60 u | 100 u | 130 u |
| 3 mL | 1.667 mg/mL | 48 u | 90 u | 150 u | 195 u |

Cells show units to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe. Highlighted cells exceed one full 1 mL (100-unit) syringe — add more water, split the dose, or use a larger syringe.
Calculate your exact Thymosin Alpha-1 dose
Pre-filled with Thymosin Alpha-1’s commonly cited vial and dose. Change any field to match your vial — it shows the exact units, concentration, and doses per vial.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 3 doses of 1.6 mg. For each dose, draw 64 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
Thymosin Alpha-1 dosing FAQ
How many units of Thymosin Alpha-1 should I draw?
Reconstituting a 5 mg vial of Thymosin Alpha-1 with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL. A 1.6 mg dose is about 64 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, roughly 3 doses per vial. This is a commonly cited example for context, not medical advice.
How much bacteriostatic water do I add to Thymosin Alpha-1?
There is no single correct amount. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure volume; less water makes it more concentrated. The chart above shows the units for 1–5 mL — 2 mL is a common choice for a 5 mg vial.
How many doses are in a 5 mg Thymosin Alpha-1 vial?
At a 1.6 mg dose, a 5 mg vial holds about 3 doses. Larger doses mean fewer doses per vial, and the amount of water you add does not change this.
