TB-500 Peptide for Healing, Injury Recovery & Tissue Repair

TB-500 Peptide: Accelerated Healing and Tissue Repair from the Inside Out

In the world of regenerative medicine, few peptides rival the reputation of TB-500, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring healing protein known as thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4). Designed to optimize recovery, accelerate tissue repair, and reduce inflammation, TB-500 is one of the most widely studied peptides for injury recovery—especially when combined with BPC-157.

At Revolution Health & Wellness, we offer TB-500 in 10mg vials with flexible dosing options. While we often recommend combining TB-500 with BPC-157 due to their synergistic effects, it can also be used as a standalone therapy—particularly if the patient prefers to take BPC-157 orally.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain, or trying to optimize athletic performance, TB-500 offers a cutting-edge, non-pharmaceutical approach to deep tissue repair.

What Is TB-500?

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide that mimics a segment of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4)—a protein naturally produced by the thymus gland and found in high concentrations in platelets and wound sites. It plays a critical role in the regeneration and remodeling of injured tissues by modulating cell migration, inflammation, and tissue regeneration.

TB-500 was developed specifically to harness and amplify these healing properties in a more bioavailable and targeted format. It works systemically, making it particularly effective for injuries that are difficult to treat with localized interventions alone.

How TB-500 Works: Mechanism of Action

TB-500 exerts its regenerative effects primarily by upregulating actin, a cellular protein that governs movement and structural integrity in cells. This upregulation enables:

1. Cell Migration

TB-500 enhances the movement of repair cells to injury sites—critical for rapid recovery of damaged tissue.

2. Angiogenesis (New Blood Vessel Formation)

The peptide promotes the formation of new blood vessels, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to healing tissues.

3. Stem Cell Recruitment

TB-500 attracts stem cells to injured or inflamed areas and helps them differentiate into appropriate tissue types.

4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

It reduces inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, creating an environment conducive to healing and tissue repair.

5. Collagen and Elastin Remodeling

TB-500 supports the formation of healthy extracellular matrix components for strong, flexible tissue repair.

Key Benefits of TB-500

Because it works on a systemic level, TB-500 is incredibly versatile and may be used for a variety of musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neurological applications.

Accelerated Wound Healing

Whether it's a surgical incision, torn ligament, or muscle strain, TB-500 promotes faster recovery and better tissue quality during repair.

Reduced Inflammation

It works at the cellular level to reduce inflammatory markers and calm overactive immune responses—helpful in both acute injury and chronic pain conditions.

Joint and Tendon Repair

From tendinitis to arthritis, TB-500 may support healthier synovial tissues and enhance joint lubrication, flexibility, and function.

Cardiac Repair

Animal studies show TB-500 may assist in heart tissue repair after myocardial infarction (heart attack) by enhancing blood vessel growth and reducing fibrosis.

Hair Growth Support

By improving blood flow and inflammation around hair follicles, TB-500 may be useful for certain types of hair loss.

Eye Health and Vision Recovery

Some experimental protocols include TB-500 for corneal healing and retina support, particularly after surgery or injury.

Neuroregeneration

TB-500 may assist in nerve regeneration by supporting axonal growth and protecting against inflammation and oxidative stress.

TB-500 + BPC-157: A Powerful Healing Duo

At Revolution Health, we often recommend using TB-500 in combination with BPC-157 because of how well the two peptides complement each other:

TB-500 BPC-157
Works systemically Works locally at injury site
Enhances angiogenesis Enhances fibroblast activity and tissue integrity
Promotes actin regulation Supports nitric oxide signaling and tendon healing
Excellent for widespread injury Excellent for gut, tendon, ligament injuries
SubQ injection only SubQ or oral formulation available

Together, they form a complete healing strategy—TB-500 improving vascularity and cellular migration system-wide, while BPC-157 supports the structural integrity of the target tissue.

For patients who prefer not to inject multiple peptides, oral BPC-157 (also available at our clinic) can be used alongside injectable TB-500.

TB-500 Peptide Dosing and Protocols

At Revolution Health, TB-500 is available in 10mg vials and should be reconstituted with 1mL of sterile or bacteriostatic water, yielding a concentration of 0.01mg (10mcg) per unit on an insulin syringe.

We offer two physician-guided protocols:

🔹 Protocol 1: Low-Dose Daily Protocol

  • Dose: 0.3mg (3 units)

  • Frequency: Daily SubQ injection

  • Duration: Up to 90 days, then take a 45-day break

  • Best For: Maintenance, minor injuries, preventive use

🔹 Protocol 2: High-Dose Daily Protocol

  • Dose: 1mg (10 units)

  • Frequency: Daily SubQ injection

  • Duration: Up to 90 days, then take a 45-day break

  • Best For: Significant injuries, post-surgical recovery, chronic tendinopathy

Injection Tip: TB-500 is typically injected SubQ (under the skin) and can be rotated around the abdomen or thigh. It works systemically, so it does not need to be injected near the injury site.
