What is BPC-157?
Pull the name apart and BPC-157 tells on itself: Body Protection Compound, and the number counts the fifteen amino acids stitched together to build it, since pentadeca- just means fifteen. It's modeled on a fragment of a protein naturally found in stomach lining, though the version studied and sold is entirely lab-made. Almost all of the published research on it traces back to one long-running research group in Croatia. SBz Industries sells it for laboratory research only.
Has BPC-157 been tested in people?
Barely. A 2024 pilot study in twelve women is one of the only published human reports, and it had no placebo group. Everything else is rats, mice and cells.
Why is almost all BPC-157 research done in rats?
Because that's where the research program actually started and has mostly stayed. A 2019 review found the great majority of published studies came from a small number of labs working in rodent injury models, not from broad independent replication.
What is the molecular formula and weight of BPC-157?
The molecular formula is C62H98N16O22. The molecular weight is 1419.5 g/mol. Both are stated on the certificate of analysis on the product page.
How is BPC-157 reconstituted?
BPC-157 ships as a freeze-dried powder. Mix it with bacteriostatic water, added slowly down the inside wall of the vial, and let it dissolve without shaking. The researcher decides the working concentration, not us, and we publish no protocols.
How should BPC-157 be stored?
Lyophilized: -20C, protected from light. Reconstituted: 2-8C. Vials ship in plain outer packaging with no product name on the outside.
Is BPC-157 tested, and can I see the results?
Yes. An independent lab tests every compound: it confirms the compound is what the label says and measures purity by HPLC. The latest certificate is on the product page, and you can read it before you order.
Who is permitted to purchase BPC-157?
Researchers and institutions, 21 or over. By ordering you confirm the material is for laboratory research and will not be used in humans or animals.
