02 — Researched for
What is being studied.
Wound healing, cardiac tissue repair after injury, corneal healing.
03 — What the evidence shows
The published record.
Animal models show angiogenesis and cell-migration effects. Human trials of full-length thymosin beta-4 exist for dry eye and wound healing; the synthetic TB-500 fragment sold online has no controlled human data of its own.
04 — What is claimed but not shown
Claimed, not demonstrated.
Faster recovery from musculoskeletal injury in humans; hair regrowth; systemic anti-aging effect.
05 — Known risks
Documented risks.
Angiogenic mechanism raises theoretical concern in undiagnosed malignancy; purity unknown from grey-market sources; doping-relevant.

07 — Questions for your physician
Six questions worth printing.
- 01What is your primary board certification, and in what year did you obtain it?
- 02Is this peptide approved for what you are prescribing it for — and if not, what is the legal basis on which you are supplying it?
- 03Which human trials support this use, and what were their size and duration?
- 04Where does the product come from, and can you show me a certificate of analysis for this batch?
- 05What outcome will we measure, when, and what happens if it does not improve?
- 06What is the total cost for the first three months, in writing?
