BPC-157
15-amino-acid synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from body-protection compound. Tissue-repair research peptide.
BPC-157 is supplied by Bench Grade Peptides as a lyophilized powder in a sealed, lot-numbered vial, for laboratory research use only — not for human or veterinary use.
Its published Certificate of Analysis (lot 00011/0011, analyzed September 3, 2026) is from AV Analytics, a third-party laboratory, and reports 99.79% purity by HPLC; every published lot is listed on the product's COA page. Vials ship at ambient temperature in protective packaging from Florida (Bench Grade Peptides LLC is registered in Dover, Delaware), with storage notes on the lot's certificate.
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide — fifteen amino acids — derived from a partial sequence of a protective protein first characterized in gastric juice. It is one of the most widely handled compounds in tissue-repair research, with a literature spanning tendon, ligament, muscle, and gastrointestinal injury models.
Most of what is known about BPC-157 comes from animal work: rodent models of tendon transection, muscle crush, and induced gastrointestinal damage, where investigators have reported effects on angiogenesis, fibroblast migration, and growth-factor expression. Human clinical evidence remains thin, which is exactly why the compound stays in the research column rather than the medicine cabinet.
In the lab it is prized for being robust: BPC-157 is stable in lyophilized form at room temperature for shipping, tolerates reconstitution well, and its short sequence makes identity verification by mass spectrometry unambiguous. Bench Grade's published Certificates of Analysis carry the HPLC purity trace and the verified molecular weight.
