Quick Take
TB-500 is the systemic counterpart to BPC-157. While BPC works more locally, TB-500 promotes healing throughout the entire body. It's often stacked with BPC-157 for a powerful healing combo. Originally studied for its effects in racehorses.
How It Works
Simple Explanation
TB-500 regulates a protein called actin, which is crucial for cell movement and healing. It helps cells migrate to injury sites, reduces inflammation, and promotes new blood vessel growth.
🔬 Technical Details (Click to expand)
Thymosin Beta-4 sequesters G-actin and promotes F-actin formation, essential for cell motility. It upregulates cell migration, angiogenesis, and reduces inflammatory cytokines. Also modulates matrix metalloproteinases for tissue remodeling.
