TB-500 Thymosin Beta 4 Peptide: Improves Muscle Tone, Repairs Tissue, Fights Inflammation
*****
There is a research peptide that is non-addictive and safe to use, unlike painkillers or cortico compounds, which not only improves muscle tone, but also helps repair tissue and helps fight inflammation.This research peptide is known as TB-500 or the Thymosin Beta-4 peptide. And reports from athletes on the EliteFitness.com forums suggest that injecting this peptide can be very beneficial towards building muscle and recovering from injuries.
Having the ability to repair the body and avoid nagging injuries can be the difference between missing precious days in the gym and being able to add more muscle and shed more fat. If this interests you then please take a moment to learn about TB-500.
* First off what is a peptide?
Simply put, peptides are more than two amino acids that are linked in a chain. Amino acids are used in every cell of your body to build the proteins you need to survive. All organisms need proteins, whether they are used in muscles or as simple structures in the cells. Even though all organisms have differences, they still have one thing in common: the need for basic chemical building blocks.
* What is the science behind TB-500:
Just as anabolic steroids are the synthetic version of the natural male hormone testosterone, TB-500 is the synthetic version of the naturally occurring peptide in the human body named Thymosin Beta4. One of the key mechanisms of TB-500 is its ability to regulate the cell building protein, Actin, a vital component of cell structure and movement. Imagine Actin being a hair type fiber surrounding cells in the body. It is responsible for the binding, growth and movement of cells and plays a tremendous role in healing within the body. Secondarily Actin also activates progenitor cells that also produce protein and growth factors that promote healing.
* What are all the benefits of TB-500/Thymosin Beta?
According to clinical studies done on race horses we know that TB-500 does many things including:
Increases muscle growth along with huge increases in endurance and strength
Relaxed muscle spasm
Improved muscle tone
Increases the exchange of substance between cells
Encourages tissue repair
Stretches connective tissue
Helps maintain flexibility
Reduces inflammation of tissue in joints
Prevents the formation of adhesions and fibrous bands in muscles, tendons and ligaments.
TB500 comes in a powder form and then must be re-constituted with bacteriostatic water. Researchers add bacteriostatic water carefully and then patiently allow it to dissolve. TB-500 is injected sub-cutaneously into bodyfat just below the skin.
Dosage information is beyond the scope of this article; however, dosing suggestions can be found on the EF forums.
*Are there any side effects?
Athletes have not reported many side effects. Remember this is a natural occurring peptide, not a drug or hormone. So, it will not suppress testosterone production or damage the liver.
* Why not just use cortico's like cortisone injections or oral cortico steroids instead for my inflammation? Or how about painkillers for soft tissue problems?
Cortico's are dangerous and will lead to long term damage to tendons and ligaments, like pain killers they do not heal anything but they trick the brain into thinking there is no damage when there actually is. You may feel better after using them initially, but you are actually causing more damage to your body in the process. TB-500 meanwhile, is natural and promotes healing instead of just covering up damage like a band-aid.
