Healing peptide

TB-500 reconstitution.

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 fragment) is typically shipped as 5 mg or 10 mg vials. Because doses are larger than BPC-157 (often 2-5 mg per injection), reconstitution math matters for keeping volumes manageable.

TB-500 specifics

What to know about this peptide.

Half-life

Plasma half-life ~2-3 hours, but downstream actin-binding effects persist much longer. Most protocols dose 2× weekly.

Stability after mixing

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Stable 28 days at 2-8°C. Gentle swirl only.

Typical use

Soft tissue, tendon, and ligament repair. Often stacked with BPC-157 for compound healing protocols.

Not medical advice

The math on this page is correct for the listed vial and BAC-water volume. The decision to reconstitute and inject TB-500 belongs to you and a clinician who knows your full history — not to a webpage.

Frequently asked

TB-500 questions

What vial size is TB-500 usually sold in?

TB-500 most commonly ships as 5 mg or 10 mg of lyophilized powder. The standard reconstitution is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, which yields clean unit-mark math on a U-100 insulin syringe for the doses used in most protocols.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a TB-500 vial?

The standard volume is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. You can use more (easier to draw, lower concentration) or less (more concentrated, smaller draw volume) without changing the peptide itself — only the syringe math changes. The dose table on this page is pre-calculated for 2 mL.

What is the half-life of TB-500?

Plasma half-life ~2-3 hours, but downstream actin-binding effects persist much longer. Most protocols dose 2× weekly.

How long does reconstituted TB-500 last in the fridge?

Refrigerate after reconstitution. Stable 28 days at 2-8°C. Gentle swirl only.

What is TB-500 typically used for?

Soft tissue, tendon, and ligament repair. Often stacked with BPC-157 for compound healing protocols.

What syringe should I use for TB-500?

U-100 insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 8–13 mm needle) are standard for subcutaneous peptide injection. Each unit on a U-100 syringe equals 0.01 mL. The dose table above shows how many units to draw for each common dose, given the vial size and standard bacteriostatic water volume.
