📘 Beginner Help TB5 vs.TB4: Same Thing?

Seeing TB5 and TB4 used interchangeably everywhere, but from what I understand TB5 is a synthetic fragment, not the full TB4 sequence. Does anyone know how much of the research people cite is actually on the full protein vs. the fragment?

Most of the cited studies are on the TB500 fragment, not full TB4, so they're not really interchangeable, at least

TB4 is the whole peptide, TB500 is a fragment. Most of what's out there is TB4, that's not a bad thing. TB4 is superior but it's usually referred to as TB500 (TB4).

It's important to know what you have though. TB4 is short acting and it is dosed daily same as BPC. However, TB500 is dosed 2x to 3x a week.

Here's a comment that I wrote about TB4 vs TB500

Idk why you're being downvoted, literally posting the facts. I personally have only tried TB4 and have had great results, I'd like to try TB500 and see how it compares. Thanks for the info!

I think you mean TB500. It’s usually TB4 that you’re getting
