BPC-157
A 15-amino acid peptide studied for tissue regeneration and gastrointestinal research.
Molecular reference
Research background
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. It consists of 15 amino acids and has been the subject of extensive preclinical research.
Research has explored its potential roles in tissue repair, wound healing, and gastrointestinal protection. Studies have investigated its effects on tendon, ligament, muscle, and nerve tissue in animal models.

Reconstitution
- Supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder for laboratory reconstitution.
- Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the most common reconstitution solvent for multi-use research handling; sterile or acetic-acid solutions are used for specific compounds.
- Introduce solvent slowly against the vial wall rather than directly onto the powder, and allow it to dissolve without vigorous shaking.
- Use the reconstitution calculator to determine solvent volume for a target concentration in your protocol.
Storage & handling
- Lyophilized powder: store sealed at -20 °C for long-term stability; short periods at 2–8 °C are generally acceptable.
- Once reconstituted: refrigerate at 2–8 °C and protect from light; use within the compound-specific window noted on the COA.
- Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles of reconstituted solution.
- Keep away from direct light and heat at all times.
Purity & verification
Every Popular Peptides batch is third-party tested by HPLC and LC-MS with a published Certificate of Analysis (≥99% purity).
