Does thymosin alpha 1 cause weight gain?

This site's thymosin alpha-1 citations do not measure body weight as an outcome. They report a 98-person hepatitis B trial (complete virological response at 18 months in 40.6% after a 26-week course versus 9.4% of untreated controls) and the TESTS sepsis trial (1,106 adults; 28-day mortality 23.4% versus 24.1% on placebo). Neither finding line is a weight-change result. Weight gain is not a documented trial outcome here, and this FAQ does not invent one.

Educational use only. This database summarizes published research and is not medical advice. Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.

Part of names, absences, and legal limits. Brand versus molecule, side effects this site's citations did not measure, how long the trials actually ran, what national legal-status fields can say, and why two-compound answers do not scale to a larger stack.
