BPC-157
Also known as: Body Protection Compound-157 · BPC157 · Pentadecapeptide
A 15-amino acid peptide fragment derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. Remarkably effective at accelerating healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and gut tissue.
Mechanism of Action
BPC-157 promotes healing through multiple mechanisms: stimulating VEGF for angiogenesis, activating growth hormone receptors in tendon fibroblasts, and modulating the nitric oxide system.

Storage & Reconstitution Guide
Storage Temperature
-20°C lyophilized, 4°C reconstituted
24 months (lyophilized), 28 days (reconstituted)
Reconstitution Solvent
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water), 0.9% saline, or sterile water
Swirl gently — do not shake or vortex
Handling Notes
Protect lyophilized peptide from moisture and light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated. Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored. Use insulin syringe for precise dosing.
Step-by-Step Reconstitution
