Description
TB-500 5mg from Evolve Peptides is 5mg of TB-500 in a sealed glass vial. TB-500 is a synthetic thymosin beta-4 peptide. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
What is TB-500?
Thymosin beta-4 is a 43-amino-acid protein found in nearly every cell, where it binds actin and helps control cell movement. TB-500 is the name used for synthetic thymosin beta-4 and for a short fragment of its active region.
It’s on the WADA prohibited list and isn’t an approved medicine.
How TB-500 acts in the lab
Thymosin beta-4’s main job is holding on to G-actin, the building block of the cell’s internal scaffolding. By controlling how much actin is free to polymerize, it controls how cells move and change shape.
Cell movement is the first step in repair, so that’s the link to the wound and blood vessel studies. The fragment often sold as TB-500 contains the actin-binding region, LKKTETQ.

Published TB-500 studies
Goldstein and colleagues reviewed thymosin beta-4’s role in wound repair in 2012, covering faster closure of skin wounds and new blood vessel growth in animal models.
Bock-Marquette and colleagues reported in Nature (2004) that thymosin beta-4 improved heart cell survival after injury in mice.

Reconstituting TB-500 5mg
Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the water you add. With 5mg in this vial:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives 1.67mg/ml
Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.
Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake.
How to store TB-500 5mg
The dry powder keeps best cold: 2 to 8°C in the fridge, or -20°C for long-term storage. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge and finish it within roughly four weeks.
