TB-500 in Australia: Legal Status & Evidence

Research findings do not establish an individual clinical benefit. Evidence limitations, adverse effects and Australian regulatory status require careful assessment.

Overview

TB-500 is associated with thymosin beta-4 research. Findings about the full protein, fragments and research products are not interchangeable evidence of human safety or clinical benefit.

Indications reviewed at consultation

  • Medical history, allergies and previous treatment
  • Current medicines and potential interactions
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding and relevant health conditions

Administration

TB-500 research products cannot be treated as equivalent to thymosin beta-4 studied in the scientific literature.

Cautions

Not for use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or active malignancy. Long-term human safety data is limited. WADA-prohibited substance — do not use if you compete in WADA-tested sport.
