TB-500

TB-500 is a synthetic version of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide found in high concentrations in blood platelets and wound fluid. It promotes cell migration, reduces inflammation, and supports tissue regeneration.

Quick facts

Half-life
~3–4 days
Administration
Subcutaneous / Intramuscular
Primary use
Injury recovery, inflammation

How it works

TB-500 works by binding to actin — a protein involved in cell structure and movement — enabling cells to migrate to sites of injury more efficiently. It also promotes the formation of new blood vessels and reduces oxidative stress.

Reported benefits

  • Faster recovery from muscle and connective tissue injuries
  • Reduced acute and chronic inflammation
  • Improved flexibility and range of motion
  • Potential cardiac tissue protection
