BPC‑157 has become one of the most talked‑about research peptides because it sits at the intersection of cell signalling, angiogenesis, and tissue‑repair biology.
A clear overview helps cut through the noise, so here’s a structured, research‑only explanation of what it actually is and why scientists study it.
BPC‑157 (Body Protection Compound‑157) is a synthetic 15‑amino‑acid fragment derived from a naturally occurring protein found in gastric juice.
In laboratory settings, it’s used to explore how small peptides influence cellular repair, inflammation pathways, and vascular growth.
Why Researchers Study It
1. Angiogenesis (blood‑vessel formation)
BPC‑157 is frequently used to investigate how peptides may influence new capillary growth, a key factor in tissue repair.
2. Cellular repair signalling
Studies often focus on its interaction with pathways related to:
-
fibroblast activity
-
collagen organisation
-
nitric‑oxide signalling
3. Inflammation‑modulation research
BPC‑157 is used in models exploring how peptides may affect:
-
cytokine balance
-
oxidative stress
-
inflammatory cascades
4. Gastrointestinal protection models
Because the parent protein is stomach‑derived, BPC‑157 is commonly used in research involving:
-
mucosal integrity
-
gut‑lining stress responses
Reconstitute with BAC's Water Only
When reconstituting peptides, it is crucial to use bacteriostatic water (BAC) to ensure sterility and safety.
BAC water contains 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol and is bacteria-proof, making it the preferred choice for reconstitution.
This method helps preserve the integrity of the peptide and prevents contamination.
To reconstitute a peptide blend, follow these steps:
Disinfect both vials and the stoppers with alcohol wipes.
Measure the required amount of BAC water based on the dosage.
Mix the peptide powder with the measured BAC water in a sterile syringe.
Inject the solution into the vial and refrigerate at 2–8°C, protected from light.
Use the reconstituted solution within 4 weeks for best potency and safety.
