TB-500 vs Adamax
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 (TB-500) is a naturally occurring peptide present in almost all human and animal cells. It plays a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration.
Full details →Adamax
Adamax is a modified version of Semax with an adamantane group attached, designed to enhance its nootropic effects and extend duration of action compared to standard Semax.

| Aspect | TB-500 | Adamax |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | TB-500 promotes cell migration and differentiation, regulates actin (a cell-building protein), and reduces inflammation. It supports the formation of new blood vessels and wound healing. | Similar to Semax - enhances BDNF expression and modulates dopamine/serotonin systems. The adamantane modification may increase lipophilicity and CNS penetration. |
| Typical Dosage | Research protocols typically use 2-2.5mg twice weekly during the loading phase, followed by maintenance dosing of 2mg every 2 weeks. | Intranasal: 100-500mcg 1-2 times daily. Lower doses than standard Semax may be effective due to enhanced potency. |
| Administration | Administered via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. Some protocols suggest injection near injury sites. | Intranasal spray is most common route. More stable than standard Semax. Often used for acute cognitive enhancement. |
| Side Effects | May cause temporary fatigue, headache, or localized irritation at injection sites. | Similar to Semax - possible irritability, hair shedding, or overstimulation. May have stronger effects than standard Semax. |
