Learn moreTB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 fragment
Commonly chosen for: Whole-body recovery, flexibility, less scar tissue
What it is
TB-500 copies the active part of a protein your body already makes when healing a wound. Its main job is helping repair cells physically travel to where the damage is. It supports new blood vessel growth, cuts down on stiff scar tissue, and helps healing tissue stay flexible. It's usually paired with BPC-157 because the two solve different halves of the same problem.
How it works
TB-500 copies the active part of thymosin beta-4, a protein your body already makes when healing a wound.
Its main job is cell migration — helping repair cells physically travel to where the damage is. It also supports new blood vessel growth.
Because it acts system-wide rather than at one point, it is associated with less stiff scar tissue and better flexibility in healing tissue.
Who it's typically for
- People with several areas that need recovery rather than one.
- People concerned about stiffness and scar tissue after an injury.
- People pairing it with a locally acting peptide.

Common side effects
Injection-site reactions, temporary tiredness and head-rush sensations are the usual reports. Human research is limited and long-term safety data does not exist.
Who should avoid it
Not appropriate in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with active cancer, given its effect on cell growth and blood vessel formation.
