medivet tb-500

With the Medivet acquisition underway and the focus on the exciting stem cell technology they offer it is sometimes easy to forget some of their other product offerings.

Another Medivet product has received media coverage in recent months and all for the wrong reasons (and though no fault of Medivet). The "drugs in sport" scandal of the past few months has seen the TB-500 peptide allegedly used by elite sportspeople. This is another one of Medivet's products marketed overseas mainly for treating injured horses and banned for use on horses in Australia.

Imagine being a professional athlete and finding out later you were jabbed with something meant for horses. Ouch.... Anyway...enjoy the following articles.
