Research brief · Regenerative
BPC-157
Pentadecapeptide widely studied in tendon, ligament and gut repair models.
Class
Synthetic pentadecapeptide (gastric origin)
Half-life
~30–60 min (systemic)
Studied in
Tendon, ligament and gut repair models.
What it is
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric protective protein. Preclinical work has examined its effects on angiogenic signalling (VEGF, NO) and connective-tissue repair markers.
Mechanism studied
Modulates nitric oxide and VEGF pathways supporting angiogenesis.
Research notes
- Most published work is rodent in-vivo; human clinical data is limited.
Before sourcing any material
- Confirm a lot-matched third-party certificate of analysis (HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity).
- Check the stated peptide content per vial, not just the gross vial mass.
- Plan reconstitution volumes first so the vial size matches your protocol.
- Verify what is lawful in your jurisdiction — these are in-vitro research reagents, not medicines.
