BPC-157
Body Protection Compound-157
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a naturally occurring gastric juice protein. It is one of the most extensively studied peptides in tissue repair research, with over 1,400 publications examining its effects on tendons, ligaments, muscle, gut lining, and nervous tissue. Researchers frequently reference BPC-157 in studies on accelerated wound healing and angiogenesis.

Key fact
Most-studied tissue repair peptide: 500+ preclinical studies across gut, tendon, muscle, nerve, and bone healing
Mechanism
BPC-157 modulates the nitric oxide system, upregulates growth factor expression (EGF, FGF, VEGF), and promotes angiogenesis. Research indicates it may accelerate tendon-to-bone healing and counteract NSAID-induced gut damage.
Evidence note
1,400+ published studies, predominantly animal models. Strong mechanistic evidence. No large-scale human RCTs.

FAQ
How is it supplied?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed vial. Requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water before use.
How should it be stored?
Store lyophilized powder at room temperature or refrigerated. After reconstitution, refrigerate and use within 30 days.
What format options are available?
Available in 5mg and 10mg lyophilized vials.
What is BPC-157?
A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It is studied extensively in tissue repair and recovery research.
What purity is guaranteed?
Every batch is third-party tested to ≥99% purity. Batch-specific COA available for download.
What's the difference between 5mg and 10mg?
Same compound, same purity. The 10mg vial provides double the research material and better per-mg value for longer protocols.
