    Dosing Protocols

    Beginner

    2.5 mg subcutaneous injection twice per week for 4–6 weeks. Space injections 3–4 days apart.

    Standard

    5 mg subcutaneous twice per week for 6 weeks loading, then 2.5 mg once per week for 4 weeks maintenance.

    Advanced

    5 mg subcutaneous twice per week for 8 weeks, stacked with BPC-157 (500 mcg 2x/day). Transition to 5 mg once weekly for ongoing maintenance.

    Weight-Based Dosing

    Not typically weight-based. Standard flat dosing of 2–5 mg per injection.

    Commonly Stacked With

    Stacks synergistically with BPC-157 for comprehensive soft tissue repair (Wolverine Stack: 500 mcg BPC-157 + 2 mg TB-500 twice weekly). Can be combined with GHK-Cu for skin and connective tissue repair.

    Related Compounds — Deeper Research Paths — TB-500 is most commonly stacked with BPC-157 but works in broader tissue-regeneration protocols: GHK-Cu for collagen remodeling, MOTS-c for mitochondrial support during high-repair phases, IGF-1 LR3 for local anabolism, and the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin GH stack for systemic IGF-1 elevation. Senolytic adjuncts: Fisetin and the Dasatinib + quercetin combo clear senescent cells that accumulate at chronic-injury sites and blunt TB-500's pro-migratory signaling.

    Side Effects & Safety

    Generally well-tolerated. Occasional mild headache, nausea, or lethargy. Localized irritation at injection site. Rare: flu-like symptoms, temporary fatigue during initial use.

    Contraindications

    Active cancer (theoretical concern with tissue growth promotion). Pregnancy or breastfeeding. Known hypersensitivity to thymosin beta-4 fragments.

    Additional Notes

    Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. A 5mg vial with 1mL BAC water = 5mg per mL. TB-500 is systemic and does not need to be injected near the injury site. Store reconstituted vials refrigerated (2–8°C) and use within 3–4 weeks.
