BPC-157
The best-known peptide in tissue-repair research
In short
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protein in gastric juice. It is known from studies on tendon, ligament, muscle and gut tissue.
Evidence level: Mostly preclinicalMost publications are animal studies; controlled human studies are very scarce.

Request certificateWhat is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid peptide supplied for laboratory research. Refer to the batch-specific certificate of analysis for identity, purity, and analytical results. Not for human or animal use.
BPC-157, short for "Body Protection Compound-157," was first identified during research on human gastric juice in the early 1990s. Croatian researchers at the University of Zagreb, led by Dr. Predrag Sikirić, originally isolated this sequence from a larger protective protein found naturally in the stomach—which is where the "Body Protection Compound" name originated.
Over the past three decades, BPC-157 has become one of the more extensively studied peptides in preclinical research. Hundreds of peer-reviewed publications have examined its interactions with various biological systems, including nitric oxide pathways, growth factor signaling, and angiogenic processes.
Research interest has spanned multiple biological systems—from gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal models to neurological and vascular studies. While preclinical data has accumulated over 30+ years, most published findings come from animal or in vitro studies. This product is intended for research use only.
How should BPC-157 be stored?
Research peptides are supplied lyophilized (freeze-dried) . Keep sealed vials cool, dry, and protected from light until reconstitution.
After reconstitution, refrigerate prepared solutions and use sterile technique. For general laboratory diluent and handling notes, see lyophilized peptide reconstitution .
