Overview
Thymulin is a hormone from the thymus that only becomes active when bound to zinc. It helps regulate T-cell development and immune balance, and research has explored it for immune support, inflammation, and even pain signaling.
How it’s thought to work
- Supports T-cell differentiation and immune regulation (zinc-dependent).
- Shows anti-inflammatory and neuroendocrine effects in studies.
Researched uses
- Immune balance and anti-inflammatory research
- Age-related immune decline studies

| Route | Subcutaneous injection |
| Notes | Adequate zinc status matters for activity. |
Reconstitution
Often a 5 mg vial. 5 mg with 2 mL water = 2.5 mg/mL, so 250 mcg = 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
Thymulin dosage calculator
The calculator below is pre-filled with Thymulin’s commonly cited vial size and dose. Adjust the vial amount, bacteriostatic water, or dose to match your own vial — it will show the exact insulin-syringe units to draw, the concentration, and how many doses the vial holds.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 20 doses of 250 mcg. For each dose, draw 10 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
