TB‑500 is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the active region of thymosin beta‑4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring 43‑amino‑acid protein involved in tissue repair and regeneration[1][2]. This educational protocol presents a once‑daily subcutaneous approach using a practical dilution for accurate insulin‑syringe measurements in research settings.
| Phase | Daily Dose (mcg) | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 500 mcg | 15 units (0.15 mL) |
| Weeks 3–4 | 600 mcg | 18 units (0.18 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8 | 750 mcg | 23 units (0.23 mL) |
| Weeks 9–12 | 1000 mcg | 30 units (0.30 mL) |
Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously. This schedule uses the largest practical dilution (3.0 mL) to keep per‑injection units in a comfortable range for accurate measurement. Total weekly dose averages ~5 mg, consistent with research protocols[3][4].

Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration.
TB‑500 represents the N‑terminal active fragment of thymosin beta‑4, specifically the heptapeptide sequence Ac‑LKKTETQ[1][2]. This region is responsible for the actin‑binding and cell‑migration properties of the full thymosin molecule. Preclinical studies demonstrate that TB‑500 promotes angiogenesis, accelerates wound healing, and supports tissue regeneration by upregulating cell motility and blood vessel formation[5][6]. Research in animal models shows enhanced collagen deposition and reduced healing time in injury sites treated with thymosin fragments[11]. Recent metabolic studies suggest TB‑500 may act as a prodrug, cleaving to an active pentapeptide metabolite that drives biological activity[12].
