TB-500 tracker
for iPhone.

TB-500's reputation rests on its long tissue half-life: a couple of doses per week, often paired with BPC-157, often run in a loading phase before settling into maintenance. The cadence is light, but the bookkeeping isn't — phases change, the stack partner runs daily, the vial maths differ. Peptide Protocol holds the schedule shifts and the calculator together so the tracking doesn't outweigh the dose.

TB-500 at a glance

Quick reference for the protocol-builder. TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4); the two are often used interchangeably in practice but have nuance.

ClassSynthetic peptide fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (recovery / actin-binding)
Brand namesNone — research peptide; not FDA-approved for any human indication
Plasma half-lifeShort systemic (~hours), but tissue-active over days due to actin-binding kinetics
Typical cadenceTwice weekly subcutaneous; sometimes once weekly during maintenance
Typical dose range2.0–2.5 mg per injection in loading; 2 mg every 1–2 weeks in maintenance
Common reconstitution5 mg vial + 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water → 2 mg/mL → 1.0 mL = 2 mg dose
Insulin syringeU-100 most common (100 units = 1.0 mL = 2 mg at 2 mg/mL); split across two sites is common
Common stack pairingsBPC-157 (the canonical recovery stack); occasionally GH-axis peptides during injury rehab
Cycle length4–6 week loading, then 4–8 weeks maintenance, often cycled off for several weeks

Built around TB-500 protocols

Three things twice-weekly recovery protocols actually need.

Phase-aware schedule

Define a loading phase and a maintenance phase with different cadences and doses. The app switches the schedule on a date you set — calendar, reminder, calculator output all update in lockstep.

Volume-friendly calculator

2 mg of TB-500 reconstituted at 2 mg/mL is a full 1 mL — a lot for one site. The calculator shows the unit count and a hint when the volume warrants splitting across two sites in the same session.

Stack-aware Today screen

If you're running TB-500 with BPC-157, the Today screen surfaces both — daily BPC-157 with rotating site, twice-weekly TB-500 with its own. Inventory tracks each vial separately so you know which one to refill first.

TB-500 tracking — common questions

Does Peptide Protocol have a TB-500 preset?

Yes. TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) is a calculator preset at common 5 mg and 10 mg vial strengths. Pick your reconstitution (BAC water volume), set the target dose in mg, and the app shows the exact unit count for U-100, U-50, or U-30 insulin syringes — typically 20–25 units on a U-100 for a 2 mg dose.

How does the app handle a TB-500 loading phase?

Build it as two scheduled phases. Loading: 2.0–2.5 mg twice weekly for 4–6 weeks. Maintenance: 2 mg every 1–2 weeks. The protocol-builder lets you switch cadence on a scheduled date, and the app's calendar will reflect the new pattern automatically — no manual re-entry.

Can I run TB-500 and BPC-157 as a healing stack?

Yes. Both peptides are first-class protocols. Run them as a stack: TB-500 twice weekly for systemic recovery, BPC-157 daily for local healing. The Today screen shows everything due across both, the rotation map keeps the sites separate where you want them, and the inventory panel tracks each vial's remaining doses independently.
