Recovery & Healing
TB-500's defining research application — supporting recovery through cell migration rather than direct tissue stimulation.
Accelerated healing
Speeds healing primarily by helping repair cells travel more efficiently to the site of injury.
Anti-inflammatory
Reduces inflammation by helping resolve the cell migration response that can otherwise prolong swelling.
Cardiac regeneration
Activates cardiac progenitor cells and promotes new blood vessel growth in damaged heart tissue.
Cell migration support
Its core, defining mechanism — upregulating actin polymerization so repair cells can reach damaged tissue faster.
Hair regrowth
Promotes blood flow and cell migration toward hair follicles, an effect observed in early research.
Muscle recovery
Helps repair cells reach damaged muscle fibers more quickly, reducing recovery time between exertion.
Reduced scar tissue
Limits excess fibrous tissue formation by supporting a more organized cell migration response during healing.
