Product Description
BPC-157 10mg — Body Protection Compound Research Peptide
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide corresponding to a partial sequence of a protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most extensively cited peptides in tissue-repair and cytoprotection research, with a broad preclinical literature spanning tendon, ligament, muscle, and gastrointestinal-tissue models. Each vial contains 10mg of lyophilized peptide at ≥98% purity, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry.

Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a stable gastric-derived pentadecapeptide. The published research literature describes several interlocking mechanisms that underpin its cytoprotective research profile.
Angiogenic Signaling (VEGFR2)
A central mechanism studied in the literature is BPC-157's upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), promoting new blood-vessel formation—a process fundamental to tissue repair across many preclinical models (Seiwerth et al., 2014).
Nitric-Oxide System
BPC-157 is studied for its interaction with the nitric-oxide (NO) pathway, which contributes to vascular and cytoprotective signaling in research settings.
Growth-Factor and Receptor Crosstalk
Research also examines BPC-157's influence on growth-factor signaling and the FAK-paxillin pathway relevant to cell migration and tissue remodeling.
Research Applications
Tendon, Ligament & Muscle Repair Research
BPC-157 is widely used to study connective-tissue and muscle-repair signaling in preclinical models, one of the largest bodies of literature for any research peptide.
Gastrointestinal-Protection Models
Given its gastric origin, BPC-157 is a reference peptide for GI-tract cytoprotection research.
Angiogenesis Studies
Used to investigate VEGFR2-mediated blood-vessel formation, often alongside TB-500 in complementary tissue-repair designs.

Reconstitution and Handling in Research
The following summarizes standard laboratory handling for lyophilized research peptides. This product is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.
Reconstitute the lyophilized powder by adding bacteriostatic or sterile water down the inside wall of the vial using a sterile syringe. Gently swirl to dissolve—do not shake, as agitation can shear peptide structure. The solvent volume selected determines the working concentration for a given research protocol. For step-by-step technique and dilution calculations, see our peptide reconstitution guide and pair with bacteriostatic water.
Storage and Handling
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): Store at -20°C for long-term stability (up to 24 months) or at 2–8°C for shorter periods, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstituted: Store at 2–8°C and use within 4–6 weeks. For longer storage, aliquot into single-use volumes and freeze at -20°C. See our full peptide storage guide.
Safety Profile in Research
As with all research compounds, investigators should follow standard laboratory safety protocols, including appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling reconstituted solutions. BPC-157 10mg is for in-vitro and laboratory research use only and is not intended for human consumption, therapeutic use, or diagnostic purposes.
