The mess is partly historical and partly convenient. TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4 get used interchangeably and they are not the same product — one is a fragment, one is the full protein, and the price difference tells you which one anybody is actually shipping.

Vendors know this. Some of them are propagating an industry-wide confusion rather than inventing one, which is a mitigation and not an excuse.

excursion claims need a logger trace or a photo at unboxing, not "it felt warm"

lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, and actual transit days

Logger trace from my shipment: 13 hours at 22°C. Powder tested 99.0% against 98.6% claim. Tolerates more than the box implies.

Did anything else change in the same window?

Strongly agree. Central appetite is real but people overstate it.

Stomach physiology changed when I moved up to 0.5mg. Gastric emptying lag is the whole story.

lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, and actual transit days

the 22-day half-life means week 22 is still ramp-up pharmacokinetically
