TB500. Hope for my eyes??

eaglecall · Mar 13, 2012

I've been thinking about this for a while but was lazy to write it. lol. I have in my eyes something called keratoconus. It doesn't have a cure. It is a degenerative condition in the cornea, in which the cornea loses collagen, and instead of keeping its dome shape, it gets an uneven surface causing image disruption. Due to the uneven surface, there is no lens that can fix that, and the condition changes. The only treatments are hard contacts to try to keep the cornea as even as possible. There's a couple more procedures that only slow down the process but do not heal completely. As a last resort, there is cornea transplant.

But with TB500, I've always been curious of what positive effects could have in the cornea. I haven't been able to find any study experimenting with this peptide in the eyes. I was wondering if it could be administered directly to the eyes as drops?? Or if injecting it in the body could have benefits just like people report benefits in joints and injuries.

Any thoughts??

You really havent been looking hard enough
Eye drops are the way to go
I will post later about appropriate dosage. Probalem with eye drops is to get a correct PH in a stable solution.

Also BPC 157 looks promising

ACT1 PEPTIDE has been used in the healing of the cornea also. It is cleaved off of thymosin, as in thymosin beta 4 peptide (TB-500).

BPC 157...another great healing peptide.

Only ergopep carries ACT1 and BPC 157. They also carry thymosin beta 4 peptide (TB-500).

You may want to research all 3 peptides.

OMG thank u so much guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a real frustration to lose sight and not being able to fix it with lenses or surgery.

I dont care if the drops itch or hurt, as long as they work I would be willing to try them and experiment.

Daouda, I would really appreciate if you can post dosage information if you have it.

I have a lot to read from those links now. Again thank you guys!!
