Description
BPC-157 research peptide
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide made of 15 amino acids. Its sequence is derived from a larger protein called body protection compound (BPC), first described in human gastric juice, which gives the peptide its name. BPC-157 is one of the most widely studied research peptides and is investigated in preclinical models of cell migration, angiogenesis-related signalling (including VEGFR2) and nitric oxide pathways.
Supplied as a lyophilised powder in a 10mg vial. BPC-157 is not a licensed medicine in the UK. We supply it strictly as a research reagent.

How BPC-157 compares
Quality and testing
Every batch is purity tested by Janoshik, an independent laboratory, using HPLC before it is released for sale. The test report for the current batch is shown in the product images. Read more about our process on the Quality & Testing page.
Storage and handling
Store the lyophilised powder at −20 °C, sealed and protected from light and moisture. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening to limit condensation. Prepare solutions according to your laboratory’s validated protocols, using appropriate PPE.

Frequently asked questions
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide of 15 amino acids. Its sequence is derived from a larger protein, body protection compound (BPC), first described in human gastric juice. It is studied in preclinical research on cell migration, angiogenesis-related signalling and nitric oxide pathways.
What does BPC stand for?
BPC stands for body protection compound. BPC-157 is the name given to the specific 15-amino-acid fragment that is synthesised and studied in research.
What is the difference between BPC-157 and TB-500?
BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid fragment derived from body protection compound. TB-500 is a synthetic peptide based on the active region of thymosin beta-4. They are different molecules studied in related areas of research, and are often compared or combined in research blends such as GLOW and KLOW.
What purity is your BPC-157?
Every batch is purity tested by Janoshik, an independent laboratory, using HPLC before it is released for sale. The test report for the current batch is shown in the product images.
How should BPC-157 be stored?
Store the lyophilised powder sealed at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Stability in solution should be validated within your own laboratory protocol.
