How much does TB-500 cost per vial?
Compounded TB-500 from reputable 503A pharmacies costs $150–$300 per 5 mg vial in April 2026. At standard dosing (2 mg twice weekly during loading, 2 mg weekly maintenance), a 5 mg vial lasts about 1–2 weeks, making monthly peptide cost $300–$600. TB-500 is meaningfully more expensive than BPC-157.
Current TB-500 Pricing
TB-500 prices vary more than BPC-157 because fewer compounding pharmacies supply it and because the active pharmaceutical ingredient is more expensive to source. Typical ranges for April 2026:
- 5 mg vial from PCAB-accredited 503A pharmacy: $150–$300
- 10 mg vial: $280–$500
- Telehealth clinic monthly program (including provider + peptide): $300–$600/month
- Research-chem vendor pricing: often $60–$100 per 5 mg (not recommended — see below)
Monthly Cost at Standard Dosing
TB-500 dosing is lower-frequency than BPC-157 but uses larger per-dose amounts. Typical protocols:
- Loading phase (weeks 1–4): 2 mg twice weekly = 16 mg/month. Approximately 3 × 5 mg vials per month = $450–$900/month in peptide alone.
- Maintenance phase (weeks 5+): 2 mg once weekly = 8 mg/month. Approximately 1.5–2 × 5 mg vials per month = $225–$600/month.
When you factor in clinic consultation, monitoring, and shipping, all-in monthly cost on a TB-500 protocol typically runs $400–$700.
Why TB-500 Costs More Than BPC-157
- Longer peptide (43 amino acids vs BPC-157's 15) — more expensive to synthesize
- Lower demand means less economy of scale
- Fewer pharmacies compound it, reducing competitive pressure
- Per-dose amounts are larger, so same vial size lasts shorter at therapeutic dosing
Wolverine Stack Cost (BPC-157 + TB-500)
The combined stack roughly adds the two peptides' monthly costs:
- BPC-157: $100–$300/month
- TB-500: $300–$600/month
- Combined: $400–$900/month
Clinics that bundle the stack sometimes offer modest discounts on the combined package.
Why Research-Chem "Deals" Are Risky
Online research-chemical vendors selling TB-500 at $60–$100 per vial are undercutting legitimate pharmacy pricing by 50–70%. The reasons:
- No FDA-regulated manufacturing or testing
- Purity and potency often substantially below labeled content
- Sterility not verified
- Legal status of the vendor typically involves "research use only" labeling that provides no recourse
- Shipments may be seized or fail to arrive
Independent testing of research-chem TB-500 has periodically revealed product with 40–70% of labeled potency, contaminants, or in some cases wrong peptide entirely. The savings are not worth injecting unverified product.
Insurance and HSA/FSA
TB-500 is not FDA-approved and is not covered by insurance. HSA and FSA funds are sometimes reimbursable for compounded peptides prescribed for legitimate medical purposes, but policies vary. Get an itemized invoice and confirm with your benefits administrator.
How to Price-Check a Clinic
Ask:
- What concentration vial do you supply — 5 mg or 10 mg?
- What's the monthly cost at maintenance dose vs loading dose?
- Is your pharmacy PCAB-accredited?
- Can I see a Certificate of Analysis for my batch?
- Is provider consultation and monitoring included, or billed separately?
