BPC-157
A synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) derived from human gastric juice proteins. One of the most widely researched peptides for tissue repair and recovery.
What Is BPC-157?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide consisting of 15 amino acids, derived from a partial sequence of body protection compound found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most extensively studied peptides in recovery and repair research, with over 100 published studies examining its biological activity across angiogenesis, tendon and ligament healing, gastrointestinal tissue integrity, and nitric oxide signaling pathways.
History
BPC-157 was first isolated and characterized by Professor Predrag Sikiric and colleagues at the University of Zagreb in the early 1990s. The peptide was identified during research into cytoprotective proteins found in gastric juice. Early experiments focused on its ability to support structural integrity in gastrointestinal models. Over time, research broadened into musculoskeletal, vascular, and dermal systems, where BPC-157 consistently demonstrated properties of interest in the context of tissue regeneration and inflammatory modulation. It remains one of the most actively researched peptides in recovery science.
Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Every batch of our peptides is independently tested by third-party laboratories to verify purity, identity, and potency. We maintain 98%+ purity standards across our entire product catalog.
Reconstitution & Storage
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (BAC water). Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject 1-2mL of BAC water into the vial, directing the stream against the glass wall. Do not inject directly onto the lyophilized powder. Gently swirl until fully dissolved. Do not shake.
Store unreconstituted vials at room temperature away from direct sunlight. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C (standard refrigerator). Use within 30 days of reconstitution. Do not freeze.
For research purposes only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide composed of 15 amino acids, originally derived from a protein fragment found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most extensively studied peptides in recovery research, with over 100 published studies examining its effects on tissue repair, angiogenesis, and inflammatory modulation.
What does BPC-157 do?
In research settings, BPC-157 has been investigated for its interactions with angiogenic and inflammatory pathways. Published studies document its effects on tendon and ligament repair, gastrointestinal mucosal integrity, nitric oxide system modulation, and neuroprotective activity in preclinical models.
Does BPC-157 work?
Over 100 peer-reviewed studies have documented BPC-157's biological activity across multiple systems including musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, vascular, and neurological models. Research by Sikiric et al. and others consistently reports measurable effects in preclinical settings. Results in human subjects have not been established through formal clinical trials.
Is BPC-157 safe?
Published preclinical research has not reported significant adverse effects in laboratory and animal models. However, BPC-157 has not undergone formal human clinical trials. Protocol Aminos sells BPC-157 for research purposes only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for any health-related decisions.
Where to buy BPC-157?
Protocol Aminos offers BPC-157 in a 10mg liquid vial for $79, third-party tested at 98%+ purity with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Every vial ships in liquid form, ready for research use, with free shipping on orders over $150.
Can BPC-157 be combined with TB-500?
Yes. The BPC-157 + TB-500 combination is one of the most researched peptide pairings in recovery science. Protocol Aminos offers a dedicated combination vial (10mg, $105) for researchers investigating synergistic tissue repair mechanisms.
How does BPC-157 work?
Research indicates BPC-157 operates through multiple mechanisms including nitric oxide system modulation, growth factor upregulation (particularly VEGF), and interaction with the FAK-paxillin signaling pathway. These mechanisms are documented across published studies in angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and inflammatory response regulation.
