Promotes cell migration

Summary

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide modeled after Thymosin Beta-4 that promotes tissue regeneration, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery in musculoskeletal injuries. It is often used by researchers and clinicians for its potent actin-binding properties and ability to enhance healing in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even cardiac tissue.

How it works

  • Promotes cell migration
  • Enhances collagen deposition
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Upregulates actin-binding proteins to enhance cytoskeletal repair
  • Improves angiogenesis and tissue oxygenation
  • Supports endothelial integrity and cardiac repair

Dosing

  • unit: mg
    low dose: 2
    frequency: every other day (loading); weekly (maintenance)
    high dose: 3
    standard dose: 2.5
    administration route: Subcutaneous (SQ)

Cycling

  • Loading Phase: 2.5 mg subQ injection every other day for 4–6 weeks. Maintenance Phase: 2 mg subQ injection once weekly.

Side effects

common: ["Headaches, especially first few days","Slight energy drop early in treatment"]
warnings: ["Possible BP decreases, dizziness, palpitations at higher doses","Anaphylaxis risk in hypersensitive individuals"]
