TB-500 (2mg)
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the active region of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4), studied for tissue repair and anti-inflammatory activity. Research-use literature describes a loading phase of 2 mg, twice weekly and maintenance of 2 mg, once weekly.

How It Works
TB-500 interacts with actin to regulate cell migration, stem cell differentiation, and the inflammatory response. Preclinical studies show improved healing of skin, tendons, and cardiac tissue.
Quick Start
- Reconstitution: Add 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 2 mg/mL concentration.
- Loading (Wks 1–4): 2 mg twice weekly (4 mg/week).
- Maintenance (Wks 5–8): 2 mg once weekly.
- Easy measurement: At 2 mg/mL, 2 mg = 100 units (1.00 mL) on a U-100 syringe — the whole vial.
- Storage: Lyophilized: −20 °C; reconstituted: 2–8 °C, use within 28 days.
Literature-reported ranges (1.0 mL = 2 mg/mL)
Route: Subcutaneously | Frequency: 2×/week (loading) → 1×/week
| Week | Dose | Units (per injection) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 (loading) | 2 mg | 100 Units (1.00 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 (maintenance) | 2 mg | 100 Units (1.00 mL) |
Loading: twice weekly (e.g., Monday/Thursday) for 4 weeks. Maintenance: once weekly. There is no validated human dosing for TB-500.

Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 1.0 mL of bacteriostatic water.
- Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
- Swirl gently until fully dissolved — do not shake.
- Note the reconstitution date and refrigerate at 2–8 °C.
Protocol Overview
- Literature-reported scope: Tissue repair, anti-inflammatory activity and angiogenesis (mostly preclinical data).
- Literature-described schedule: Loading 2 mg × 2/week for 4 weeks, maintenance 2 mg × 1/week.
- Doses per vial: 1 × 2 mg (one vial per injection).
Dosing Protocol
- Loading (Weeks 1–4): 2 mg × 2/week = 4 mg/week.
- Maintenance (Weeks 5–8): 2 mg × 1/week.
- Literature-described break: 4–6 weeks after the cycle.
- There is no validated human dosing — research context only.
- Break between cycles: After the 8-week cycle, the literature describes a 4–6 week break.
Washout & Cycle Restart
When can I restart?
After the 8-week cycle, the literature describes a 4–6 week break.
Minimum wait period: 4 weeks
Storage Instructions
- Lyophilized: −20 °C in dry, dark conditions.
- Reconstituted: 2–8 °C; use within 28 days.
- Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Important Notes
- The 2 mg vial is ideal for trial cycles.
- Clinical data in humans is limited.
Potential Benefits & Side Effects
Potential Benefits:
- Supports injury recovery (animal models).
- Anti-inflammatory action.
- Dosing flexibility (loading/maintenance).
Potential Side Effects:
- Injection site reactions (redness, itching).
- Transient fatigue or weakness (first few days).
- Headache (rare).
- Dizziness or feeling of warmth (rare).
- Human data is preliminary.
⚠️ Serious Warnings & Long-Term Risks
The following warnings are based on published literature, FDA labels, and post-marketing surveillance. They do not constitute medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional.
Theoretical concern: angiogenesis
Thymosin β4 regulates angiogenesis and cell migration. Theoretical concern that it may favor growth of existing tumors, though no clinical evidence exists.
