TB-500

Synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 studied for tissue and vascular repair.

Mechanism of Action

A synthetic peptide fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4). Research suggests it upregulates actin, promotes cell migration, angiogenesis, and modulates inflammation — supporting repair in muscle, tendon, cardiac, and corneal tissue models.

Research Areas

Muscle and tendon repair
Cardiac tissue recovery (preclinical)
Corneal and dermal wound healing
Hair follicle stem cell activation

Common Research Protocols

Loading + maintenance research

Higher-frequency subcutaneous dosing over 4–6 weeks, then lower maintenance frequency in animal recovery models.

Protocols summarized for educational reference from published research. Not dosing guidance.

Important Considerations

  • Not FDA-approved; banned by WADA.
  • Most evidence is preclinical.
