Thymogen Leitfaden & Dosierungstabelle
A thymic dipeptide studied for immune modulation.
| Ziel | Dosis | Häufigkeit | Dauer | Evidenz | Quelle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hepatoprotection / antioxidant (preclinical, liver damage model) | 10–100 mcg | per trial | per trial | Preclinical | PMID 40442470 |
| Inhibition of radiation-induced carcinogenesis (preclinical) | 5 mcg | 1x/day for 5 consecutive days per monthly course | 12 monthly courses | Preclinical | PMID 1300740 |
| Inhibition of chemically-induced esophageal/forestomach tumors (preclinical) | 10 mcg | 1x/day | 32 weeks | Preclinical | PMID 2759010 |
A common approach: reconstitute an example 5 mg vial of Thymogen with bacteriostatic water. The table shows the resulting concentration and the volume to draw for a 10–100 mcg dose at three common water volumes.
| BAC water | Concentration | Volume / dose | Units (U-100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5 mg/mL | 0–0.02 mL | 0.2–2 |
| 2 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 0–0.04 mL | 0.4–4 |
| 3 mL | 1.67 mg/mL | 0.01–0.06 mL | 0.6–6 |
Units shown are for a U-100 (1 mL = 100-unit) insulin syringe. Always verify your own math before drawing.
Reconstitution worked out for each common vial size:
A typical reconstitution-and-injection kit includes:
- Lyophilized peptide vial(s) — enough for the full protocol length
- Bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
- U-100 insulin syringes (one per injection)
- Alcohol prep swabs
- A sharps container for safe disposal
Storage & handling
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide is typically kept refrigerated and protected from light; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water it is generally refrigerated at 2–8 °C and used within a few weeks. Follow aseptic technique to avoid contamination, per CDC injection-safety guidance.
Injection technique
Subcutaneous injections are usually given into the fat of the abdomen or thigh: clean the site with an alcohol swab, pinch the skin, insert at the recommended angle, and rotate sites to protect the tissue. See MedlinePlus for a step-by-step subcutaneous-injection guide.
