TB-500

InflammationEvidence Level: researchNot FDA-approved for general therapeutic use; research use only.
Peptide #08

TB-500 is a synthetic analog of Thymosin Beta-4, a peptide critical for cell migration, wound healing, and inflammation reduction. Its structure allows it to effectively support cellular regeneration, enhance tissue repair, and manage inflammation. This has made it particularly valuable in sports medicine, regenerative medicine, and research into healing therapies.

Alternative Names:

Thymosin Beta-4

Overview

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in nearly all human and animal cells. Renowned for its powerful regenerative and healing capabilities, TB-500 promotes rapid repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, such as muscles, ligaments, tendons, and even skin.

How It Works

TB-500 significantly promotes tissue repair by stimulating cellular migration and differentiation, crucial processes in wound healing and tissue regeneration. By enhancing angiogenesis and collagen synthesis, it accelerates healing in various tissues.

Clinical Effects

Promotes rapid repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, reduces chronic inflammation, manages pain, improves recovery outcomes following muscular injuries and surgical procedures.

Therapeutic Applications

Sports medicine, injury recovery, wound healing, chronic inflammatory conditions, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular health, tissue regeneration.

Research Studies

Clinical Trials

Limited human trials demonstrate promising initial results for injury recovery, inflammation reduction, and tissue repair.

Preclinical Studies

Animal and lab studies show accelerated healing times, reduced inflammation, and improved functional outcomes.
