BPC-157
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids), stable and water-soluble. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in sealed vials. Each batch has its own certificate of analysis (COA), which opens when you scan the QR code on the label. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
BPC-157 research profile
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-residue peptide whose sequence is a partial sequence of a protein ("body protection compound") described in human gastric juice. It was first reported by Sikirić and colleagues at the University of Zagreb in 1993 and has since been studied mainly in rodent models.
