    Why do you think it requires some special handling? Handle it as any other peptide.

    @vpeptides that seemed like an unnecessarily acerbic response, no? She merely asked a question and she has valid concerns. Not all peptides are treated equally.

      Eleanor I think if your running Cartalax without TB500/or TB4 and BPC 500 or TB500/TB4 and ARA 290, your wasting your $$$ I would also run KPV and GHK cu or KLOW with Cartalax. Cartalax needs help, it is a bioregulator it is a very tiny piece of the healing process. I would also add some HGH to the mix.

      To answer your question TB4 is the whole pie it were TB500 is a slice of the same pie, no special treatment needed keep it in your fridge after you reconstitute it. Most of the TB500 is actually TB4 it is also commonalty used in blends as TB4 is cheaper than TB500 as it takes less processing to make.

        I don't know that it does, but have found myself smacked a couple of times doing this. T4 is different from T500. I don't know what I don't know, but in further study, in my case, it's not worth the investment anyway. Not sure Cartalax is worth it either but if I start adding to it before I have results, it's muddy water.

        @Eleanor I would add that the studies of Thymosin Beta 4 (TB4) were done on the full 43-AA molecule, not on its 7-AA fragment 17-23 commonly called TB500. It is speculated that this segment 17-23, actin-binding domain, is active for the healing properties, but it is only a speculation. I would research on the full molecule if I had an opportunity. TB500 is cheaper and hyped, that's why it's used.

          @brandenscheidecker Cartalax has been studied enough to be effective alone. But I would agree that adding BPC-157 or TB500/TB4 and ARA-290 as a separate line of treatment might be beneficial. I would also add Thymosin Alpha-1 to counteract theoretical tumor-promoting effects of TB4 and BPC.

            I found TP4 on a reputable site from here. COA says TB4, not TB500. I can't find any real info on how to handle it. Is it sensitive to light, don't freeze in powder form, etc.

            Anyone with guidance on this?

            Thanks!

            @Eleanor FWIW your question isn't redundant. I had the same confusion because there's a difference between TB4 and TB500.

            What I found was TB4 can be dosed daily in small mcg quantities, whereas TB500 is recommended to be dosed 2x or 3x a week in slightly higher quantities.

            But ultimately researchers just end up using TB4 protocol for TB500, as it is easier to remember and stack with BPC.

            Also many vendors who sell Wolverine blend actually have TB500 in the blend, and people dose it like TB4 daily and get the same results.

            Some researchers do 5 days on 2 days off with Wolverine or separate compounds.

            Hope this helps.

              @pep_researcher @vpeptides @brandenscheidecker I did research the whole molecule and was no conclusive evidence. I refuse to pay the price for TB500 (hype) and can't afford the addition of any others, so, it's out of reach for now. I do have some GHKcu and GLOW powder in the fridge; I truly hate GHKcu and forced myself to finish the 1st, original vial, but will try GLOW this time. As @wisgal64 posted, if there's any adverse reaction whatsoever (Cartalax), which there seems MIGHT be happening, the deal is done and it goes in the trash; same for GLOW. I agree with all your assessments and it's the way the cookie crumbles for me at this time. Thanks very much for responding; I do appreciate it! @canineriot Thank you kindly.

              PS - I do like the topical GHKcu cream and might jazz it up a bit, but injection, IDK and GLOW, the same cu in it. Will see.

                @pep_researcher From what i have read, the 5/2 research schedule along with cycling is to avoid receptor burnout, and isn’t really applicable to all peptides. Personally, I cycle GHRH peptides and other short term peptides (SS-31, Epithalon, etc) but for stuff like KLOW, I will research it for extended periods without a break.

                I used to do 5/2; now I just go 7 days a week. My bride is on 5/2 mainly because it gives her a couple days off every week, which she likes and might be the real reason it is recommended: researched burnout.

                @eleanor I have been researching Klow for a few months and have found it doesn’t sting at all, at least for me. I know it is more expensive, but if you like the benefit of Glow but not the burn, you might try a vial of Klow and see how your rat likes it.

                Please set a funny and sarcastic signature line. It brings me joy. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

                  I might do that later. Have to get my basics first, then, graduate from there. Thank you, Cat.

                    @ResearchCat Just bought a vial of KLOW. Will see how it progresses. Researching for ISR, etc. peptidedosages says to start with 7.5; I might make it easier and start with 7. I should know something by July 4 sales time.

                      @vpeptides thank you for that info. I Will not touch bpc, don't wantv to feed any tumors. Now i have a formulated approach.
