TB-500 is a synthetic research peptide that mimics the naturally occurring protein thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4). It is primarily studied for its potential to accelerate tissue repair, regeneration, and wound healing, while also reducing inflammation.
- Tissue Repair and Regeneration: TB-500 helps repair various tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and skin, by enhancing cell migration to injury sites and promoting collagen production.
- Angiogenesis: It promotes the formation of new blood vessels, which improves circulation, oxygen, and nutrient delivery to damaged areas, accelerating the healing process.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: TB-500 has significant anti-inflammatory properties, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and helping to manage both acute and chronic inflammation and pain.
- Improved Flexibility and Mobility: By reducing muscle stiffness, inflammation, and scar tissue formation, it can help restore flexibility and range of motion after injuries or chronic conditions.
- Cardioprotection and Neuroprotection: Preclinical research also suggests potential benefits for the heart (reducing damage after a heart attack) and nervous system (supporting nerve regeneration).
