Questions
- What do TB-500 user reports say people use it for?
- A confession counts when its text matches a fixed use list: an injury, a joint, a tendon or ligament, healing or recovery, flexibility, pain, a BPC-157 stack, or injection. The use phrase in the most confessions is stacked with bpc-157: 28 of 29 (96.6%). A denial in the preceding words does not count. These are phrase matches over anonymous published stories, not clinical incidence.
- How many confessions are in this TB-500 count?
- 29 published confessions are tagged TB-500. The site has no accounts, so this is a count of submissions, not a verified count of distinct people. Published dates run from 19 May 2026 through 13 October 2026.
- How are TB-500 timelines counted?
- 3 confessions write an explicit day number, 2 confessions write an explicit week number, and 2 write an explicit month number. Months are not converted into weeks, and weeks are not converted into days. A confession can land in more than one bucket when it names more than one number.
- What TB-500 side effects do users report?
- A confession counts when its text matches the shared phrase list (for example nausea, constipation, heart rate, palpitations). A denial in the preceding words ("no nausea") does not count. The side-effect phrases users report most often are anxiety or panic, cramps, heart rate or palpitations, injection-site reaction, low mood or anhedonia, nausea, and reflux or heartburn (tied): 1 of 29 confessions (3.4%). Silence is not recorded: people who never name an effect are in the denominator only.
- Are these TB-500 doses a recommendation?
- This is not a dosing recommendation. 1 of 29 confessions write a figure next to TB-500. Figures are kept when they sit near that name, and dropped when they sit near another compound, a price, or a vial size. One distinct figure counts once per confession. No figure was frequent enough to list.
- Do these percentages show what TB-500 causes?
- A percentage is the share of published confessions that used a phrase. Figures on this page are phrase matches over anonymous published stories, not clinical incidence.
Methodology
Cohort: confessions with status published and a TB-500 tag. Data through 13 October 2026. The page is cached and regenerated about once an hour from that query.
There is no structured field for side effect, use, dose, week, or outcome. Matches are case-insensitive phrases. A phrase that nobody used stays in the table at zero. “Tired”, “sleep”, “heart”, and “skin” alone are not scored; those words show up in stories that are not about a side effect.
Figures on this page are phrase matches over anonymous published stories, not clinical incidence.
This is not a dosing recommendation. Doses are not a protocol. Weight figures, where this page shows them, are not a result you should expect. Nothing on this page is a finding from a trial.
Editorial rules for what gets published are on the methodology page. Vendor names are not repeated here.
