QuickStart Guide
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide fragment based on the active region of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring protein involved in tissue repair, recovery, and regeneration. It’s widely researched for its role in supporting muscle recovery, reducing inflammation, and improving healing response in connective tissue and soft tissue injuries.
This educational protocol outlines a once-daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for simple and accurate insulin-syringe measurements in research settings.
• Reconstitution: Add 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water for a final concentration of ~3.33 mg/mL
• Typical Daily Range: 500–1000 mcg once daily with gradual titration recommended
• Easy Measuring: At 3.33 mg/mL, 1 unit on a U-100 insulin syringe ≈ 33.3 mcg
• Storage:
- Lyophilised: Store at −20 °C (−4 °F)
- After reconstitution: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F)
- Do not freeze reconstituted solution
TB-500 is often paired with BPC-157 for broader recovery support, combining local tissue repair with full-body recovery and regeneration pathways.
⚙️ How This Works
🧪 Steps FOr reconstitution
- Draw 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water using a sterile syringe
- Inject slowly down the vial wall (don’t blast it, avoid foaming)
- Gently swirl or roll until fully dissolved (no shaking)
- Label with the date, store in the fridge at 2–8°C, keep out of light
- Use within 4 weeks after reconstitution
