TB-500 10mg
TB-500 is a recovery peptide related to Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring peptide involved in cell migration, blood-vessel formation and tissue-repair processes. In bodybuilding and sports use, TB-500 is mainly used for muscle, tendon, ligament, joint and general recovery.
Thai Anabolics supplies Cat Pharmaceuticals TB-500 in a 10mg freeze-dried vial. TB-500 is normally used as a broader recovery peptide rather than being injected around one specific injury site.

Then reduce to maintenance
The standard TB-500 setup is 2–2.5mg twice per week. Space the injections about 3–4 days apart, such as Monday and Thursday. After the loading phase, reduce to a lower once-weekly maintenance dose.
Practical protocols
TB-500 Loading & Maintenance Protocols
| Protocol | Loading Phase | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 2mg twice weekly for 4–6 weeks | 2mg once weekly |
| Standard | 2.5mg twice weekly for 4 weeks | 2.5mg once weekly for 4 weeks |
| Advanced | 5mg twice weekly for 4 weeks | 2.5mg once weekly for 4 weeks |
For most clients, the Standard protocol is the easiest starting point. The Advanced protocol uses one full 10mg vial per week during the loading phase.
Mixing guide
How to Mix a 10mg TB-500 Vial
A simple setup is to add 2ml of sterile water to the 10mg vial. This gives a final concentration of 5mg/ml.
Using a U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1ml.
| TB-500 Dose | U-100 Syringe |
|---|---|
| 2mg | 40 units |
| 2.5mg | 50 units |
| 5mg | 100 units |

Broad recovery
Why Athletes Use TB-500
TB-500 is commonly chosen when the problem is not limited to one small area. Bodybuilders and athletes often use it during periods of heavy training when multiple muscles, tendons or joints need recovery support at the same time.
Research on Thymosin Beta-4 and its active peptide regions has found effects on cell migration, angiogenesis and wound-repair pathways.[1][2]
Tendons & connective tissue
TB-500 for Tendon & Ligament Recovery
Tendon and ligament problems are a major reason athletes use TB-500. The practical advantage is that TB-500 is normally used as a whole-body recovery peptide rather than requiring injections beside one exact injury.
A 2026 animal study directly evaluated TB-500, BPC-157 and their combination after Achilles tendon repair, adding to the growing recovery-focused evidence around these peptides.[3]
Recovery combinations
Best Peptides to Stack With TB-500
| Goal | Recovery Stack |
|---|---|
| Simple Recovery Stack | TB-500 + BPC-157 |
| Skin + Tissue Recovery | TB-500 + GHK-Cu |
| Full Recovery Stack | TB-500 + BPC-157 + GHK-Cu |
TB-500 + BPC-157 is the main recovery combination. In practical bodybuilding use, TB-500 is normally chosen for broader recovery while BPC-157 is often used more locally around a stubborn injury.
GHK-Cu can be added when skin, collagen and tissue remodeling are also priorities.
Choosing a recovery peptide
TB-500 vs BPC-157
| TB-500 | BPC-157 | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Use | Broader recovery | More localized recovery |
| Common Schedule | 2× weekly loading | Daily |
| TA Vial Strength | 10mg | 10mg |
| Best Combined? | Yes — commonly used together | |
If the goal is a more complete recovery setup, using BPC-157 10mg with TB-500 is usually more useful than simply increasing the dose of one peptide.
