BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide — a chain of 15 amino acids — derived from a protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most extensively researched healing peptides available.
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a partial sequence of body protection compound that has been isolated from human gastric juice. The "157" refers to its amino acid sequence. Unlike many peptides, BPC-157 is stable in human gastric juice and does not require refrigeration for short periods.
Research Applications
Gut & Digestive Health
BPC-157 has been extensively studied for its effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Research suggests it promotes healing of the gut lining, reduces intestinal permeability, and may support recovery from conditions affecting the GI tract.
Tendon & Ligament Healing
Multiple studies have examined BPC-157's effects on soft tissue healing. It appears to upregulate growth factor receptors and promote tendon-to-bone healing, making it one of the most researched peptides for musculoskeletal applications.
Systemic Anti-Inflammatory Effects
BPC-157 modulates nitric oxide signaling and appears to have systemic anti-inflammatory properties that extend beyond the site of application.
Dosage Protocol
Standard research dosage: 250–500 mcg per day
Half-life: Approximately 4 hours
Administration: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
Storage & Reconstitution
Lyophilized BPC-157 should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 4°C and use within 4 weeks. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water using a slow, wall-drip technique to avoid denaturing the peptide.
