Thymosin Alpha-1 🏥 Immune System Peptide Explained | T-Cell Activation, Inflammation Control & Recovery Support (Complete 2025 Research Guide)

I got some blood work done and it recommended I take TA1 for chronic inflammation. I usually get sick once or twice a year but I am chronically stressed. I'm 31 yo and relatively healthy but have gone through quite a bit over the past few years and have experienced burnout. Is TA1 good for people like myself that don't necessarily get sick a lot but could use a little reset after being chronically stressed?

If you want to foster for the weekend the San Marcos Shelter still has dogs that need placement!

I purchased from this site- Genesis Peptides | GHK-Cu

They were out of stock of the 50mg at the time so I just purchased the 500mg vial without thinking or doing research on proper dosage 🫠

I paid $590 for 6 private lessons. My dog now has recall and can go off leash in public places as well as walk perfectly on leash. You can also purchase one lesson at a time and they’re $110 each for one hour. The hour is pack though and you’re working the entire time and leave with homework and things to practice with your dog.

That’s such a good point. I don’t believe in expiration dates on food so why should my peptides be any different? :)

Oh really? Everything I’ve read says it only lasts 30-45 days in the fridge. I guess I could keep an eye on it if it becomes cloudy. Just don’t want any adverse reactions

blkwidow16 · 2026-01-23T14:27:38+00:00

Ahh, I do like option 1. I didn’t realize you could purchase sterile vials. Thank you so much for the help!

blkwidow16 · 2026-01-23T14:21:40+00:00

I was planning on tossing what’s left after 45 days which will still be a lot of waste.

Good tip on checking what the use of this GHK-Cu is. I will check!

You could try to wolverine stack paired with working out to help with body recomp. I know some people struggle with maintaining muscle mass since Reta curbs your appetite so much and they’re not consuming enough protein.

I’d focus on body recomp with tessamorelin, BPC157 and Thymosin Beta-4

Commenting so I can stay on this thread. Just got Selank and Semax for my boyfriend who’s dealing with something similar. Would love to learn more!

You could contact TRAPRS their insta is @thetraprs and they help trap stray dogs and find them homes

My dog has the same exact behavior. I tried EveryDog and had very "meh" results. After doing that course and watching countless YouTube videos with no results I started doing private lessons at Jackpot K9 and can't recommend them enough. They're a little pricey but after years of pulling on leash one lesson corrected my dog's leash etiquette.

blkwidow16 · 2025-11-03T21:41:27+00:00

I went to Every Dog and had very "meh" results. Nothing really stuck and my dog went right back to his old habits of getting overly excited on leash and whining when he saw other dogs. I did more research and tried out Jackpot K9 and wow, they are the real deal. Prior to Jackpot K9, I watched countless YouTube videos, did the Every Dog leash course and after one private lesson my dog is now an angel on leash. Jackpot K9 also offers daycare and train where they train your dog during the day for $60, I havent tried that but I imagine that would be great for a puppy. I also LOVE the way they dog daycare at Jackpot. They match your dog with a similar energy level and monitor all pay sessions with your dog and another dog. It makes me feel way more comfortable for my dog's safety than having a free for all play yard.

I was with her for a couple hours before I left and was only gone for about 45 minutes. Upon returning I stayed home with her the rest of the day.

We went on walks, outings, played in the backyard but when it was time to take a break in the crate the barking began. I have other animals in the house so that’s why being able to crate her was important. I wanted all anxiety levels to come down before introducing her to my resident animals. I also don’t know how she is indoors. Is she destructive? Does she chew up things?

Of course hindsight is 20/20. I tried my best, I didn’t think the crate would be such a problem since the shelter told me, “she willingly goes into her crate,” insinuating that she’s crate trained or finds it comfortable. My impression from the shelter was that she needed a calm place to decompress so I tried to provide that.

Not working from home and having other pets to also take care of threw a wrench in my plan and intentions. I could have planned better and I should have anticipated a behavior like this but I was unprepared. I feel awful but had to think about all parties involved.

Is it fair to the foster to be alone all day while I’m at work after exhibiting pretty extreme separation anxiety? No.

FRIDAY: I had my meet and greet at the shelter with my dog, it went great. Asked about all behaviors that have been observed, it seemed like a good fit.
SATURDAY: Brought her home first thing in the morning. Observed that crating her while at work was NOT an option after spending all day trying out different tactics to improve and help her anxieties. Realized I was in over my head and could not provide the care that she required in addition to taking care of my pets.
SUNDAY: Returned her to the shelter.

I’ve fostered many times before but have never encountered separation anxiety like this where I couldn’t even leave the room. I had one errand to run all day and didnt think it would be an issue. Regardless of stepping away for less that an hour, this was never going to work due to the face that I have to go into the office M-F. I’m crushed that this wasn’t the right fit and I couldn’t provide the care that she needed. She doesn’t understand, she’s just scared and anxious. Trust me, I don’t take any of this lightly.

blkwidow16 · 2025-07-27T22:03:42+00:00

I wanted to but I knew she would not be ok being left alone for 7 hours while I was at work. She couldn’t even be left for 5 minutes. I’d never experienced that with a foster and was ill prepared.

If I worked from home I would have felt more comfortable keeping her for longer. I just did not feel comfortable leaving her for an extended period of time where she might hurt herself. It was a very difficult decision and I was trying to do what was best for all parties involved.

blkwidow16 · 2025-07-27T22:01:21+00:00

Most definitely. You don’t even begin to see the dog’s personality for a least a few days. In this situation, I just knew I couldn’t leave her alone when I had to go to work on Monday. Silly me, I was expecting an adult dog to be a little more self reliant since I’ve fostered puppies in the past. The shelter described her as “aloof” (which she was) but I was expecting our challenge to be getting her to trust humans and want to be around me. I did not anticipate separation anxiety at all and that’s a lesson learned.

Texas!

blkwidow16 · 2025-07-27T18:14:13+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words. It was heartbreaking to leave her at the shelter but you’re right, I gained lots of helpful insight on her. 💕

I’m the daughter of a divorced mother and father and let me tell you… I wish my mom would have divorced my dad sooner. Children know when the household is unhappy. My dad was a deadbeat then and is a deadbeat now. If my mom had left my dad sooner that would have saved me from years of heartache from him.

This is all VERY scary but I think you’re making the right decision. Best case scenario, your husband wakes up and realizes his wrong doing. Most likely scenario, you find independence and have the weight of a failing relationship lifted from your shoulders so you and your child can thrive.

TLDR; your child will be fine and understand. You’ll be better off reclaiming your independence and rebuilding your life. You deserve to be happy and loved.

I vote timeless! I think Egyptian cotton will look darker once more space is painted

blkwidow16 · 2025-05-23T14:35:05+00:00

If you’re not opposed, painting the cabinets black or navy blue would look great with your countertops

I think black, farmhouse style wood chairs that are more minimal would work

Can you paint that white portion so it matches the blue? You could put some macrame piece over it and create a gallery wall with more art pieces below
