TB-500 Fragment
The active Tβ4 17-23 fragment of TB-500 — less studied and less available than the full peptide with a thinner evidence base.
Verdict — D · Speculative
A derivative compound with less data and less availability than the full TB-500 peptide. For buyers who want thymosin beta-4 axis activity, full TB-500 from a COA-verified vendor is the better-supported choice at this time.
Overview
TB-500 Fragment refers to the active thymosin β4 (17-23) sub-sequence proposed to carry the G-actin sequestering activity of the full TB-500 peptide. The hypothesis is that this shorter fragment retains key activity with a simpler synthesis, but the human evidence base is considerably thinner than for full TB-500 and sourcing is more limited. The theoretical cell-proliferation concern present for TB-500 carries over.
