TB-500, Thymosin Beta-4 · How it works
Less scar, calmer inflammation
The first four amino acids of thymosin beta-4 form Ac-SDKP, a small peptide the body cuts off on its own. Ac-SDKP lowers inflammation and stops scar-forming cells from laying down too much fibre. Chinese and Western teams have shown it limits scarring in heart, kidney and lung. So thymosin beta-4 helps tissue heal as tissue, not as scar.
