BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is one of the most widely studied peptides in tissue-repair research. This guide gives a research-level overview of what it is, what it is studied for, and how to handle it in the laboratory.
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide of 15 amino acids, derived from a partial sequence of a protective protein found in human gastric juice. It is relatively stable and is supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder for research.
What BPC-157 is studied for
In laboratory models, BPC-157 has been investigated for reported effects on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), cell migration, and the healing of connective, muscular and gastrointestinal tissue. Research interest centres on its cytoprotective behaviour and its interaction with growth-factor and nitric-oxide pathways. It is frequently studied alongside TB-500 — see our BPC-157 vs TB-500 comparison.
Forms and handling
BPC-157 is supplied as a lyophilised research vial and reconstituted before use with bacteriostatic water. See our reconstitution guide and storage guide for correct technique.
Quality and verification
Every batch of GenoPept BPC-157 is independently HPLC- and MS-verified to ≥ 99% purity with a batch Certificate of Analysis. View the BPC-157 product or browse the Repair & Recovery Research category.
