Peptide tracker Research-only — no FDA-approved human label

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.

ClassActin-binding repair peptide (research; synthetic Thymosin Beta-4 fragment)
Brand names / aliasesThymosin Beta-4 fragment, TB500
Regulatory statusResearch-only — no FDA-approved human label
Evidence levelFDA regulatory notice / literature
Plasma half-lifeNo FDA-approved label half-life. Tissue-active over days due to actin-binding kinetics.
Approved presentationNo FDA-approved marketed presentation.
Dose initiationNo verified label dosing. Self-protocols typically run 2–2.5 mg twice weekly during loading — community convention only.
EscalationNo labeled escalation. WADA bans use in competition.
Common stack pairingsBPC-157 (canonical recovery stack)
Side-effect notesLimited human safety data. FDA flagged for compounding-risk contexts.
Key caveatTB-500 is unapproved and is on the FDA's compounding-risk list. It is not the same as the official Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4) label product, which itself has no FDA-approved standard human label.

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 is supported in the calculator. Because it has no FDA-approved human label, the app does not ship a default dose; you enter your vial mass, BAC water volume, and target dose, and the calculator returns the exact unit count for U-100, U-50, or U-30 syringes. Most community protocols target 2–2.5 mg per dose, which lands at roughly 20–25 units on a U-100 at standard reconstitution.

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.
