TB-500

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein in the human body. It is primarily researched for its potential regenerative and healing properties, particularly in muscle repair, inflammation reduction, and tissue recovery.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Accelerated Healing

   • Promotes wound repair, muscle regeneration, and recovery from injuries.

   • May enhance collagen deposition E angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).

2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

   • Reduces inflammation in tendons, joints, and muscles.

   • Potentially beneficial for conditions like tendonitis E arthritis.

3. Improved Flexibility & Mobility

   • Helps restore elasticity in connective tissues, aiding in joint and muscle flexibility.

4. Cardioprotective Potential

   • Some studies suggest it may support heart tissue repair after injury.

5. Performance & Recovery in Athletics

   • Used (controversially) by some athletes for faster recovery from intense training or injuries.

Common Uses & Research Areas

• Sports Medicine: Recovery from muscle strains, ligament damage, and tendon injuries.

• Post-Surgical Healing: May speed up recovery after surgery.

• Chronic Conditions: Investigated for fibrosis reduction E chronic inflammation management.

Administration & Dosage

• Typically administered via subcutaneous injection.

• Dosage varies (often 2.5–5 mg, 2–3 times per week), but clinical protocols are not standardized.

• Non approvato dalla FDA for human use (mainly used in research/veterinary medicine).

Side Effects & Risks

• Possible mild irritation at the injection site.

• Long-term effects are not well-studied in humans.

• Banned in competitive sports (WADA-prohibited substance).

Legal Status & Availability

• Not approved for human use in most countries (sold for “research purposes only”).

• Available through specialized peptide suppliers (often in lyophilized powder form).
