Synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric protein sequence

A stable sequence of 15 amino acids lifted from a protective protein in human gastric juice, BPC-157 ranks among the most heavily cited repair peptides in the preclinical record. Several hundred rodent experiments have examined it across tendon, ligament, muscle, gut and nervous-system injury. Part of what sets it apart is its durability: it withstands stomach acid and stays active in solution for days.

How it works

Reported activity converges on the nitric-oxide system, the upregulation of growth-factor receptors (notably VEGFR2 and the EGR-1 pathway), and changes to the FAK-paxillin signalling that fibroblasts rely on to migrate and adhere. In injury models the visible result is quicker angiogenesis, better-organised collagen and less inflammatory infiltrate.

What the research reports

Accelerated healing against controls has been reported in rat Achilles tendon transection (Staresinic et al., J Orthop Res 2003), medial collateral ligament injury, muscle crush and gastric-ulcer models. Gut work shows the intestinal lining protected in NSAID-induced injury. The human record is thin, limited to small trials and case series, and no controlled human trial exists.

Key research areas

  • Tendon and ligament — Achilles and MCL transection models with biomechanical endpoints
  • Skeletal muscle — Recovery from crush and denervation injury
  • Gastrointestinal protection — Mucosal injury from NSAIDs and alcohol, plus inflammatory bowel models
  • Angiogenesis — Vessel formation and VEGFR2 signalling at the injury site
  • Nervous system — Models of peripheral nerve and spinal-cord injury

BPC-157 dosage: what the published studies used

The table lists the amount, frequency and duration each BPC-157 study reports, in the model it used. Most peptide research is animal or cell work, so the model column matters as much as the number. These figures describe the research. They are not a recommendation, and Peptide Aus does not give dosing advice for people.

How to reconstitute BPC-157

BPC-157 ships as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder and is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before laboratory use. Volumes used on this page: 10mg: 2 mL.

  1. Let the vial reach room temperature. Take it out of the freezer about 15 minutes beforehand so condensation doesn't form inside.
  2. Swab both stoppers. Wipe the BPC-157 vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol swab and let them dry.
  3. Draw the water. Use a fresh syringe to draw the volume for your vial size from the bacteriostatic water vial.
  4. Add it slowly down the inside wall. Aim the stream at the glass, not at the powder, so the cake dissolves without foaming.
  5. Swirl, don't shake. Roll the vial gently between your fingers until the solution is clear. Shaking can damage the peptide.
  6. Label and refrigerate. Write the date and concentration on the vial and store it at 2–8 °C, protected from light. Never freeze reconstituted solution.
  7. Work out the concentration. The vial maths table above, or the calculator, converts milligrams and millilitres into mg/mL and syringe units.

For in-vitro research and laboratory use only. Not for human or veterinary use. By purchasing you confirm you are a qualified researcher and will use this compound in accordance with all applicable laws.

Frequently asked questions

What is BPC-157?

Synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric protein sequence. A stable sequence of 15 amino acids lifted from a protective protein in human gastric juice, BPC-157 ranks among the most heavily cited repair peptides in the preclinical record. Several hundred rodent experiments have examined it across tendon, ligament, muscle, gut and nervous-system injury. Part of what sets it apart is its durability: it withstands stomach acid and stays active in solution for days.

What is BPC-157 studied for?

Tendon and ligament: achilles and MCL transection models with biomechanical endpoints. Skeletal muscle: recovery from crush and denervation injury. Gastrointestinal protection: mucosal injury from NSAIDs and alcohol, plus inflammatory bowel models. Angiogenesis: vessel formation and VEGFR2 signalling at the injury site. Nervous system: models of peripheral nerve and spinal-cord injury. Accelerated healing against controls has been reported in rat Achilles tendon transection (Staresinic et al., J Orthop Res 2003), medial collateral ligament injury, muscle crush and gastric-ulcer models. Gut work shows the intestinal lining protected in NSAID-induced injury. The human record is thin, limited to small trials and case series, and no controlled human trial exists.

BPC-157 before and after: what do the studies show?

In rat tendon-transection work, treated tendons gained biomechanical strength and better-organised collagen inside a few weeks; ligament and muscle-crush models reported quicker functional recovery; gut models reported smaller lesion scores. Human 'before and after' photos form no part of the published record.

What side effects has BPC-157 research reported?

No consistent toxicity shows up in the rodent literature, though a controlled human safety study is missing. Reviews flag theoretical issues such as angiogenic activity where tumours are present and the lack of long-term data. WADA prohibits it.

What is the BPC-157 dosage?

In the published BPC-157 research, the amounts used were 10 mg total, injection around the inflamed bladder area, Once, during a single procedure in human pilot, interstitial cystitis (Lee E et al. (2024)); 10 mg IV (day 1), 20 mg IV (day 2), each in 250 cc saline over 1 h, Once daily on 2 days in human safety pilot (Lee E et al. (2025)); 200 or 2 μg/kg intraperitoneal, Once, 10 min after injury in rat, spinal cord injury (Perovic D et al. (2019)). These are the figures each study reports for its own model, listed in full in the dosage table on this page with links to PubMed. Peptide Aus supplies BPC-157 for in-vitro research and does not give dosing guidance for people.

Should I pick BPC-157 capsules or the vial?

We keep both. The vial matches the format used in the tendon, muscle and nerve studies; the 500 mcg capsules fit oral and gut designs, where the earliest BPC-157 research belongs.

BPC-157 vs TB-500: what is the difference?

A different route of action: BPC-157 signals through nitric oxide and growth factors, whereas TB-500 works via the actin cytoskeleton and cell migration, which is why researchers frequently pair them.

BPC-157 vs Wolverine stack: what is the difference?

The 'Wolverine stack' is forum slang for BPC-157 paired with TB-500; Peptide Aus carries that combination as a pre-blended vial.

Should I pick BPC-157 capsules or the vial?

We stock both. Reconstituted from the 10mg lyophilised vial, the solution fits the systemic, tendon and muscle designs that most of the literature used. The capsules hold 500 mcg of BPC-157 apiece, 60 to a bottle, and are suited to oral and gastrointestinal work where the peptide targets the gut lining. Either format comes with a batch certificate on request.

Why does gastric juice come into it?

BPC-157 is the shortest fragment of a parent protein, isolated from human gastric juice, that retains the protein's stomach-lining protection. That is the reason the first studies looked at ulcer models.

Does BPC-157 count as a banned substance in sport?

It does. In 2022 the World Anti-Doping Agency listed BPC-157 as a non-approved substance on its Prohibited List, which matters for any research that involves athletes.

How do you reconstitute BPC-157 (10mg)?

Add about 2 mL of bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside of the vial and swirl gently; do not shake. 10mg in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C after reconstitution and use within 8–12 weeks. The calculator has this vial preset.

How should BPC-157 be stored?

Lyophilised: −20 °C, sealed, away from light and moisture. Reconstituted: 2–8 °C, used within 8–12 weeks, never frozen.

Is BPC-157 legal in Australia?

No registered BPC-157 medicine exists anywhere, and the TGA has not approved the peptide for any human use. Within Australia, supplying it for human use sits under the prescription-only schedule of the Poisons Standard, and the TGA has acted against companies that market it that way. Peptide Aus provides BPC-157 strictly as a research reagent for in-vitro laboratory work, and responsibility for lawful use rests with the buyer. Our guide covers the legal status of BPC-157 in Australia.

Where can I buy BPC-157 in Australia, and what does it cost?

Directly from Peptide Aus, from Australian stock: BPC-157 (10mg) is $94.99 AUD including GST. Paid orders before 2pm AEST/AEDT dispatch the same business day, tracked.
