How to Reconstitute TB-500
TB-500 reconstitution follows the same principles as other peptides but uses larger dose volumes due to milligram-range dosing. Vials typically contain 5 mg or 10 mg. Proper calculation ensures accurate dosing during both loading and maintenance phases.
Key Points
Step-by-Step Guide
Gather Supplies
TB-500 vial (5 mg or 10 mg), bacteriostatic water, alcohol swabs, 1 mL insulin syringe for mixing, and 1 mL syringe for dosing.
Calculate Water Volume
For a 5 mg vial: add 1 mL BAC water = 5 mg/mL, so 0.5 mL = 2.5 mg per dose. For a 10 mg vial: add 2 mL = 5 mg/mL. Adjust for your target dose volume.
Sterilize and Inject Water
Clean both vial tops with alcohol. Draw calculated BAC water volume. Inject slowly against the vial wall. TB-500 typically dissolves quickly.
Mix Gently
Swirl the vial gently for 30 seconds. TB-500 dissolves readily. Solution should be clear and colorless. No special handling beyond standard peptide care.
Draw Dose
For a 2.5 mg dose from a 5 mg/mL solution, draw 0.5 mL (50 units on insulin syringe). Double-check your math before each injection.
Warnings & Precautions
- !TB-500 doses are in milligrams—double-check concentration calculations.
- !Drawing errors are more impactful at higher concentrations.
- !Store refrigerated and use within 4-6 weeks.
- !Larger draw volumes may require a 1 mL syringe rather than 0.5 mL.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much water for a 5 mg TB-500 vial?
1 mL BAC water gives 5 mg/mL. A 2.5 mg dose = 0.5 mL draw. If you prefer smaller draws, use 0.5 mL water (10 mg/mL), making 2.5 mg = 0.25 mL.
Can I use the same syringe to mix and inject?
Use a fresh syringe for each injection. The mixing syringe can be reused only for mixing from the same BAC water vial, never for injection.
Does TB-500 need special storage?
Same as other peptides: lyophilized at -20°C long-term, reconstituted at 2-8°C for 4-6 weeks. No special handling beyond standard peptide storage.
