TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) is a naturally occurring peptide present in almost all human and animal cells. It plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration.
Mechanism of Action
TB-500 promotes cell migration and differentiation, regulates actin (a cell-building protein), and reduces inflammation. It supports the formation of new blood vessels and wound healing.
Typical Dosage (Research)
Research protocols typically use 2-2.5mg twice weekly during the loading phase, followed by maintenance dosing of 2mg every 2 weeks.
Administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Some protocols suggest injection near injury sites.
Side Effects & Risks
May cause temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites.
Theoretical concerns about promoting growth of existing cancers due to angiogenic properties. Not approved for human use.
Who Uses TB-500
Athletes with muscle, tendon, or ligament injuries, individuals seeking enhanced recovery.
