TB-500
TB-500 by prescription. Coming soon.
TB-500 is a seven-amino-acid fragment of thymosin beta-4. HHS opened it to US 503A pharmacies in October 2026, as an injection under the skin or into muscle. Our pharmacy is adding it as a single-ingredient prescription. Join the list to be first.

Understand your treatment
A fragment, not the whole protein.
TB-500 is often confused with thymosin beta-4. It is a seven-amino-acid piece of it, the region that binds actin. HHS's policy names this fragment, as an injection under the skin or into muscle.

Make a more informed choice
TB-500 vs. thymosin beta-4
Thymosin beta-4 is a 43-amino-acid protein studied in tissue repair. TB-500 is the acetylated LKKTETQ fragment. They are different molecules, and research on one does not automatically apply to the other.

The fragment HHS names
TB-500 is Ac-LKKTETQ, seven amino acids from the actin-binding region of thymosin beta-4. It is not the full 43-amino-acid protein.
From a repair protein
Thymosin beta-4 binds actin and helps cells move during tissue repair, in lab and animal research.

About TB-500
TB-500 is the acetylated seven-amino-acid fragment Ac-Leu-Lys-Lys-Thr-Glu-Thr-Gln (Ac-LKKTETQ). It copies the actin-binding region of thymosin beta-4, a 43-amino-acid protein studied in tissue repair. It is a different molecule from the full protein. Ours will be TB-500 acetate as the only active ingredient, compounded by a US 503A pharmacy.
- A seven-amino-acid fragment of thymosin beta-4
- TB-500 acetate, the only active ingredient
- Injected under the skin or into muscle, as your provider directs
- Prescribed after a US-licensed provider review
