TB-500
(Thymosin Beta-4)
TB-500 is a potent healing peptide known for its powerful tissue repair and regenerative properties. It promotes cell migration, reduces inflammation, and accelerates recovery from muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. By stimulating angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) and collagen production, TB-500 enhances oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged tissues, speeding up healing time. Athletes and individuals recovering from surgery or chronic injuries often turn to TB-500 for its ability to restore function and reduce downtime. It also shows promise in supporting heart, nerve, and organ repair. When paired with peptides like BPC-157, it offers comprehensive, synergistic healing and recovery support.
Benefits
Tissue & Injury Healing
​
-
Accelerates healing of muscles, tendons, and ligaments
-
Promotes repair of soft tissue injuries (sprains, strains, tears)
-
Speeds up recovery from surgery or trauma
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
​
-
Reduces chronic and acute inflammation
-
Helps manage conditions like arthritis or tendinitis
Cell Growth & Regeneration
​
-
Stimulates angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels)
-
Supports cell migration and tissue regeneration
-
Encourages collagen formation for structural support
Muscle & Performance Support
​
-
Enhances muscle recovery and endurance
-
May reduce muscle tightness and spasms
Cardiovascular & Organ Support
​
-
May help regenerate heart tissue post-injury (studied in cardiac models)
-
Protects and repairs internal organs in some preclinical studies
Neurological Support
​
-
Promotes nerve regeneration and neuroplasticity (in early studies)
Other Notable Benefits
​
-
May reduce the formation of scar tissue
-
Can be stacked with BPC-157 for synergistic healing
-
Useful for chronic injuries that don’t heal with conventional methods
Side Effects
Commonly Reported (Usually Mild):
​
-
Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, irritation)
-
Fatigue or lethargy (transient)
-
Headache
-
Mild nausea
Less Common / Possible Side Effects:
​
-
Dizziness or lightheadedness
-
Flu-like symptoms (rare)
-
Temporary changes in blood pressure
Theoretical or Unconfirmed Risks:
​
-
Excessive tissue growth (very rare, typically with long-term or high-dose use)
-
Immunomodulation effects (since it's involved in immune response regulation)
-
Unintended angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels in undesired areas—highly theoretical)
Important Notes:
​
-
No major toxicity has been reported in human or animal studies.
-
Long-term human data is limited.
-
Should be used under medical supervision, especially when injected.
Dosages
Loading Phase:
​
-
Dosage: 2 mg to 5 mg
-
Frequency: Twice weekly
-
Duration: 4 to 6 weeks (depending on injury severity)
Maintenance Phase:
​
-
Dosage: 2 mg
-
Frequency: Once every 1–2 weeks
-
Purpose: To maintain healing benefits and prevent re-injury
Administration Guidelines:
​
-
Route: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection
-
Injection Site: Can be near the injury site or systemic (e.g., abdomen, thigh)
-
Reconstitution: Use bacteriostatic water; store refrigerated after mixing
-
Needle Size: 29–31 gauge insulin syringe recommended
Important Notes:
​
-
Often stacked with BPC-157 for synergistic healing effects
-
Best taken on an empty stomach, if timed around meals
-
