What TB-500 is
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to an active fragment of the naturally occurring protein Thymosin Beta-4. It is supplied as an analytical-grade reference material for laboratory research.
What the research has examined
Published studies have examined thymosin beta-4 and its fragments in tissue-repair, cell-migration, and angiogenesis research models.
Listing an area of study is not a claim about any product or outcome. These references are provided so qualified researchers can locate the primary literature. All materials are supplied for laboratory research use only.
Reconstitution reference
Standard laboratory reconstitution volumes for TB-500, from the VNG Reconstitution Sheet. See the full reconstitution guide for the method and concentration math.
