The Science

What is BPC-157?

BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids. Its sequence — Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val — is derived from a naturally occurring protein found in gastric juice.

Research Background

BPC-157 has been the subject of extensive preclinical investigation since the early 1990s, primarily in rodent models. Research has been conducted across a range of physiological systems.

Published studies have examined BPC-157 in the context of: → Gastrointestinal tissue models → Musculoskeletal and tendon models → Angiogenesis and vascular biology → Central and peripheral nervous system models → Inflammatory response models

Key published research institutions include the University of Zagreb, where Dr. Predrag Sikiric's laboratory has produced the majority of foundational BPC-157 preclinical work spanning over three decades.

Storage & Stability BPC-157 in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form is stable at 2–8°C for up to 12 months when stored sealed. Once reconstituted, the peptide should be used within 30 days and kept refrigerated at all times. Do not freeze a reconstituted solution.
