About TB-500
Healing peptides are studied for tissue repair, gut integrity, and post-injury recovery. BPC-157 (a fragment of body protection compound) and TB-500 (thymosin β4) are the most-discussed in this category.
How it's used
Typically injected subcutaneously near (but not directly into) the area of injury, daily or several times per week, in cycles of 2–6 weeks. Some users prefer oral or intranasal delivery for gut-related goals.
Storage
Reconstituted vials kept refrigerated at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Most peptides are stable for 2–4 weeks reconstituted. Lyophilized (powdered) vials store much longer in a freezer.
Watch for
- Mild local irritation at injection site
- Fatigue or flu-like feeling in early days
- Headaches reported by a minority of users
- Limited long-term safety data — these compounds are not FDA-approved for human use

TB-500 FAQ
Answers, not hype.
TB-500 (also marketed as Thymosin Beta-4®) is a peptide in the Healing category. It is a research peptide and is not FDA-approved for human use. The dose ranges shown (2–10 mg) are summarized from peer-reviewed research literature where evidence is preliminary.
TB-500 most commonly ships in 2, 5, 10 mg vials. Typical reconstitution volumes are 2, 3 ml of bacteriostatic water — choose the volume to land on a syringe-friendly unit count for your target dose.
Use the formula concentration = vial mg ÷ BAC water ml, then volume = dose mg ÷ concentration, then units = volume × 100 (for U-100). For example, a 2 mg vial reconstituted with 2 ml gives 1.00 mg/ml — at the typical low dose of 2 mg that resolves to 200.0 units. The free reconstitution calculator on this site verifies the math against your specific vial.
No. TB-500 is a research peptide and is not FDA-approved for human use in the United States as of April 2026. Any use must come through a licensed healthcare provider, typically via a compounding pharmacy.
Side-effect profiles for research peptides are characterized in published research rather than an FDA label. Most users report mild local reactions at the injection site, occasional fatigue, and headache in the first few doses. Long-term human safety data is limited for most research compounds. Discuss with your prescribing provider before starting.
No. The values shown are reference numbers summarized from authoritative sources — FDA-approved labels for approved compounds and peer-reviewed research for the rest. They are not personalized recommendations. Always follow your prescribing provider's instructions and verify every calculation against your vial label.
