TB-500 Biomarkers — What Labs Actually Reveal: Comparison
IGF-1 100–300 ng/mL 320–380 ng/mL (30–40% ↑) 48–96 hours 7–10 days Most consistent marker. Reflects satellite cell and fibroblast activation VEGF 50–500 pg/mL 450–650 pg/mL (2–3× ↑) 48–72 hours 5–7 days Strongest signal. Indicates active angiogenesis CRP <3.0

- IGF-1
- 100–300 ng/mL
- 320–380 ng/mL (30–40% ↑)
- 48–96 hours
- 7–10 days
- Most consistent marker. Reflects satellite cell and fibroblast activation
- VEGF
- 50–500 pg/mL
- 450–650 pg/mL (2–3× ↑)
- 48–72 hours
- 5–7 days
- Strongest signal. Indicates active angiogenesis
- CRP
- <3.0 mg/L
- 0.8–1.5 mg/L (22–35% ↓)
- 72–120 hours
- 14–21 days
- Reflects NF-κB inhibition. Overlaps with other anti-inflammatory interventions
- IL-6
- 0–5 pg/mL
- 1.5–2.5 pg/mL (18–28% ↓)
- 10–14 days
- Useful for confirming inflammatory suppression but less specific than VEGF
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
- 5–20 ng/mL
- 18–28 ng/mL (moderate ↑)
- 96–144 hours
- Secondary marker. Tracks connective tissue remodeling
- Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9)
- 50–150 ng/mL
- 40–80 ng/mL (↓)
- 120+ hours
- 14+ days
- Indicates extracellular matrix turnover. Useful in longitudinal studies
