BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, a 15-amino-acid fragment of a protein found in human gastric juice. It is one of the most studied research peptides in the regenerative-biology literature and is notable for its stability in gastric conditions, which is why it is also supplied in an oral capsule format for research.
This listing is the 120-capsule bottle, each capsule containing 500 mcg of BPC-157. The 60-capsule bottle and the lyophilized vials are listed separately.
Note: BPC-157 is for research use only. Not for human consumption.
BPC-157 Mechanism of Action (Based on Research)
The peptide’s mechanism is not fully elucidated. Non-clinical work most often describes the pathways below.
Nitric Oxide System
Animal studies describe interaction between BPC-157 and the nitric-oxide (NO) system, with changes in NO-synthase activity and in vascular responses in isolated tissue preparations reported across a number of models.
Angiogenic Signaling
Cell-culture and animal work characterizes changes in vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR2) expression and endothelial-cell behavior in the presence of the peptide.
Gastric Stability
BPC-157 retains its structure in gastric-juice conditions for extended periods in vitro, an unusual property for a peptide and the reason oral formats are used in research designs.
BPC-157 Research Applications
BPC-157 is used in non-clinical models of tissue remodeling, vascular biology, gastrointestinal tissue, and nitric-oxide signaling, and as a comparator in studies of related peptides such as TB-500.
