TB-500
TB-500 is a research-market name. It often points at a piece of thymosin beta-4. It is not automatically the full-length peptide used in some papers. This source set has no FDA-approved TB-500 drug. Sport rules list thymosin beta-4 related substances as banned. Listed seller sizes here are 5 mg and 10 mg. Read the certificate.

What is TB-500?
Seller titles mix “TB-500” and “Thymosin Beta-4.” Those names can mean different things. A fragment and the parent peptide can differ in sequence, purity, and any studied effect. The library keeps both names and that warning. A listing names a product. It does not write a treatment.
The research name can refer to a thymosin-beta-4 fragment; it is not interchangeable with full-length thymosin beta-4.
Regulatory status, dated 2026-10-09
Compounding
not established. Compounded products do not carry FDA product approval; legal eligibility is not established here.
Research
investigational. No established human therapeutic evidence for the marketed fragment.
Sport
unknown. Not individually verified; consult the current sport rules. Absence of a listing is not permission.
What the cited papers actually measured
Most published thymosin-beta-4 work is lab or early human work. It does not prove every research-market vial sold as TB-500. WADA’s banned list is a sport rule. It is not a safety grade. FDA compounding-risk pages discuss related bulk substances. They do not create an approved product. If a paper used a defined sequence and a clinic product does not show the same sequence, the paper does not travel with the product. A seller title that prints both names on one line still needs the lot certificate before anyone reads those names as one molecule.
We mark the cited papers as D. That is our label for how strong those papers are. It does not say the compound works.
How long it lasts, how you store it, listed sizes
The catalog does not record a single hour value. No verified formulation-specific human estimate in this source set; no guessed value is supplied.
The vendor file lists 5 mg and 10 mg. Use the storage line printed on that vial. Fridge after adding liquid is a label question. It is not an amount instruction.
U-100 math for listed TB-500 sizes. Each cell is micrograms per syringe mark if you add that much liquid. The table does the same math as the calculator. It does not pick an amount for you.
| Listed vial | 1 mL liquid | 2 mL liquid | 3 mL liquid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 50 | 25 | 16.7 |
| 10 mg | 100 | 50 | 33.3 |

Questions people ask
Is TB-500 the same as thymosin beta-4?
Some listings use both names. Read sequence, length, and testing on the actual certificate. This page does not treat the names as proven matches.
Does a 5 mg vial tell you how much to draw?
It only tells you the labeled mass. Units depend on how much liquid you add and which syringe scale you use. Type those values in the calculator.
