BPC-157
Body Protection Compound, a stable fragment derived from a protein in gastric juice, researched for tissue regeneration across tendon, ligament, muscle and nerve models.
What it is
BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) is a stable gastric-juice fragment, a 15-amino-acid peptide derived from a protective protein found in the stomach. Its stability is part of what makes it a popular research subject, and it is among the most-studied repair peptides in the regeneration literature.
What the research looks at
Research on BPC-157 focuses on tissue regeneration: in animal and in-vitro models it is studied for tendon, ligament, muscle and nerve recovery, with the proposed mechanism running through angiogenesis and growth-factor pathways at the injury site. Investigators track new blood-vessel formation, growth-factor signalling and the pace of repair in damaged tissue. Supplied strictly for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Preparing it
The vial ships as a lyophilized powder and is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (or sterile water for single-session work) before use. Choose a diluent volume that gives a concentration convenient to read on a U-100 syringe. See reconstitution for the method and the concentration formula for working out the diluent.
