Healing

A synthetic peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. Known for its remarkable tissue healing properties across multiple body systems. FDA classified as Category 2 in 2023, restricting compounding.

TB-500

Healing

A synthetic 17-amino acid fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-4). Unlike TB-4, TB-500 has a longer half-life (~2-4 days vs ~2 hours) and is the active region responsible for tissue repair and cell migration. Note: Many vendors mislabel TB-4 as 'TB-500' in premixed products.
