BPC-157 | 10mg | 3ml

BPC-157 — also written BPC157, BPC 157 or peptide 157 — is a laboratory-synthesised pentadecapeptide: a single chain of fifteen amino acids whose sequence was first identified within a protein found in gastric juice, which is where the name "body protection compound" comes from. It is one of the most-studied compounds in this catalogue and the one most often bought as a single vial. Ours is supplied pre-mixed as a solution in a sealed 3 ml vial, 10mg per vial, HPLC-verified with a batch Certificate of Analysis, synthesised and dispatched from our UK facility, with the reusable pen offered free with the vial.

Research use only. BPC-157 is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. This page describes chemistry, format, quality and handling. It does not describe dosing, administration or use in humans or animals, and makes no therapeutic claims.

BPC-157 at a glance

What BPC-157 is, chemically

Fifteen residues, no disulphide bridge, no unusual amino acids: a linear peptide of 1,419.5 g/mol that is unusually stable for its size. The literature notes its resistance to breakdown in gastric juice, which is one reason it became a convenient research tool — it survives conditions that fragment most short peptides. It carries a net negative charge at neutral pH from its two aspartate and one glutamate residues, dissolves readily in water, and in solution presents as a clear, colourless liquid. Those properties are what the certificate checks: identity by mass, purity by HPLC, appearance by inspection.

How BPC-157 is studied

Published in-vitro and preclinical work uses BPC-157 as a molecular probe for short-peptide signalling, examining its interaction with nitric-oxide-associated processes, growth-factor signalling cascades and regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics, along with cell–matrix interaction behaviour in cultured systems. Much of the preclinical literature comes from rodent models run by a small number of groups, and reported observations vary with the model, the concentration, the exposure time and the methodology, which is why independent replication is a live topic in reviews of the compound. These are laboratory observations only; no conclusions about effects in humans or animals should be drawn from them. The BPC-157 guide goes further into the literature.

BPC-157 and TB-500

BPC-157 is compared with, and combined with, TB-500 more than with any other peptide, because the two are different molecules with different mechanisms: BPC-157 is a stand-alone 15-residue peptide, TB-500 a fragment modelled on the actin-binding protein thymosin beta-4. Our BPC-157 vs TB-500 comparison sets them side by side. If a study needs both, the Wolverine Stack supplies 10mg of each in one pre-mixed vial; GLOW adds GHK-Cu, and KLOW adds GHK-Cu and KPV. The single vial on this page is the right choice for work on BPC-157 alone or for a control arm.

Pre-mixed BPC-157 vs lyophilised

Almost every UK listing for BPC-157 is a lyophilised powder, usually 5mg or 10mg, that has to be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use. Ours is supplied already in solution: no reconstitution step, no bacteriostatic water to buy, no pipetting error at the bench, and the concentration shown in the key facts above holds for every vial in the batch. A solution has to stay cold, so every vial ships chilled in an insulated pouch, goes into a 2–8 °C refrigerator on arrival, and should be used within the storage window on the label. We supply BPC-157 only in this form — there are no capsules, tablets or oral preparations in the catalogue.

BPC-157 is prohibited in competitive sport

BPC-157 appears on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List as a non-approved substance, which is why anti-doping bodies feature on the first page of results for it. That has no bearing on laboratory supply, but it is worth knowing, and it is one more reason the material is supplied for in-vitro research only.

Quality: HPLC purity and the Certificate of Analysis

BPC-157 is one of the products whose chemistry on this page comes directly from the laboratory certificate. Every batch is verified by HPLC at 99%+ purity, the certificate records the measured value and the appearance for that batch, and a batch-specific COA ships with every order. Sample certificates are viewable in the COA library before you buy.

Storage and handling

• Refrigerate at 2–8 °C on arrival; keep the vial sealed and protected from light.
• Do not freeze. Freeze–thaw cycling damages peptides already in solution.
• Draw from the vial with standard aseptic laboratory technique.
• Check the certificate for the recorded appearance and the storage window for that lot.

Buying BPC-157 in the UK: what to check

1. Mass per vial and, for a solution, the concentration — the two figures most listings blur.
2. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis naming the batch, the method and the appearance, viewable before you order.
3. Format. Powder needs bacteriostatic water and a reconstitution step; a pre-mixed solution needs cold-chain delivery and a refrigerator.
4. Where it is made. Ours is synthesised in the United Kingdom and dispatched the same day on orders placed before 3pm GMT, tracked, and free over £100.
5. Legal status. BPC-157 is lawful to buy and possess in the UK for laboratory research. It is not a licensed medicine, and every vial is supplied and labelled for in-vitro research use only.
