TB-500 (5 mg Vial)
Dosing & reconstitution protocol
Quick Reference
Overview
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to the active region of thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring 43-amino-acid protein involved in tissue repair and regeneration. This protocol uses 3.0 mL reconstitution for ~1.67 mg/mL. At 1.67 mg/mL, 1 unit = 0.01 mL ≈ 16.7 mcg on a U-100 insulin syringe.
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
| Phase | Daily Dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 500 mcg | 30 units | 0.30 mL |
| Weeks 3–4 | 600 mcg | 36 units | 0.36 mL |
| Weeks 5–8 | 750 mcg | 45 units | 0.45 mL |
| Weeks 9–12 | 1000 mcg | 60 units | 0.60 mL |
Reconstitution Instructions
Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).
Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light. Use within 28 days with bacteriostatic water preservative.

Supplies Needed
- ✓Peptide Vials (TB-500, 5 mg): 8 vials
- ✓Insulin Syringes (U-100): 56 syringes (7/week)
- ✓Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL): 3 bottles (24 mL needed)
- ✓Alcohol Swabs: 2 × 100-count boxes (112 swabs)
Dosing Protocol
Schedule
Inject once daily subcutaneously. Total weekly dose averages ~5 mg, consistent with research protocols. Gradual titration from 500 mcg.
Cycle Structure
8–12 weeks; optional extension to 16 weeks. Follow with a 2–4 week break before repeating.
Timing
Any consistent time daily; rotate injection sites systematically.
Storage & Handling
- ✓Lyophilized: Store at −20 °C (−4 °F) in dry, dark conditions.
- ✓Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C; do not freeze reconstituted solution.
- ✓Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation.
- ✓Use reconstituted vials within 28 days with bacteriostatic water preservative.
Important Notes
- ✓All products sold by JA Performance Peptides are intended strictly for laboratory research purposes and are not approved for human consumption, veterinary use, or therapeutic application. Not for human use.
- ✓Use new sterile insulin syringes for each injection; dispose in a sharps container.
- ✓Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thighs, upper arms) to reduce local irritation and lipohypertrophy.
- ✓Inject slowly; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle to prevent backflow.
- ✓TB-500 is banned by WADA for athletic use and is not FDA-approved for human administration.
