TB-500 Dosing Protocols: Recovery Type Comparison
Acute muscle tear or strain 2x/week (e.g., Monday/Thursday) 4–5mg 4–6 weeks Satellite cell mobilisation + actin scaffolding during inflammatory and proliferative phases Highest efficacy window. Timing matters more than total dose Tendon or ligament injury 2x/w
This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.
- Acute muscle tear or strain
- 2x/week (e.g., Monday/Thursday)
- 4–5mg
- 4–6 weeks
- Satellite cell mobilisation + actin scaffolding during inflammatory and proliferative phases
- Highest efficacy window. Timing matters more than total dose
- Tendon or ligament injury
- 2x/week
- 6–8 weeks
- Fibroblast migration + collagen synthesis. Slower repair timeline than muscle
- Longer protocol justified by slower connective tissue turnover
- Chronic overuse or delayed-onset recovery
- 1x/week maintenance after 4-week loading
- 2–2.5mg
- 8–12 weeks total
- Sustained low-level actin upregulation without acute injury signalling
- Diminishing returns after week 8. Reassess if no improvement
- Post-surgical recovery (research context)
- 2x/week starting day 3 post-op
- Reduces fibrosis and supports organized tissue remodeling vs scar tissue formation
- Requires prescriber coordination. Not suitable for self-administration
