TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) is one of the most effective peptides for healing injuries, but dosing is confusing. Too little won't deliver results; too much wastes expensive product. This evidence-based TB-500 dosage chart shows exactly how much to use for tendonitis, muscle tears, joint injuries, and recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions How much TB-500 should I take per week?
For injury healing: 5-10mg/week during loading phase (weeks 1-4), then 2.5-5mg/week maintenance. For general recovery: 2.5mg/week is sufficient. Can I inject TB-500 every day?
You can, but it's unnecessary and wasteful. TB-500 has a long half-life, so 2-3x per week is optimal. Daily injections don't improve results and cost significantly more. Where should I inject TB-500?
Subcutaneous injection in the abdomen is easiest and most common. You can inject near the injury site, but systemic (belly/thigh) injections work just as well since TB-500 circulates throughout the body. How long does TB-500 take to work?
Most users notice improvement in 2-4 weeks with proper loading dosing (5-10mg/week). Severe injuries may take 6-8 weeks. If you see no improvement after 6 weeks, dosing may be too low or the injury may require medical intervention. Is 2.5mg of TB-500 per week enough?
For maintenance or prevention, yes. For active injury healing, 2.5mg/week is too low. You need 5-10mg/week during the loading phase to build sufficient serum levels. Can I take TB-500 long-term?
TB-500 is typically used for 8-12 week cycles, then discontinued once the injury heals. Long-term daily use isn't well-studied and is unnecessarily expensive. Some athletes use 2.5mg/week year-round for injury prevention.
The Bottom Line
TB-500 dosing follows a loading/maintenance approach: 5-10mg/week for 4 weeks, then 2.5-5mg/week. Clinical data and anecdotal success support this protocol.
Don't under-dose during the critical first month, and give the peptide 6-8 weeks minimum. For serious injuries, stack with BPC-157 for maximum healing. Source pharmaceutical-grade TB-500 and store reconstituted vials properly.
