BPC-157 – High Purity Research Peptide (10mg per vial)
Overview
BPC-157, short for Body Protection Compound-157, is a peptide fragment derived from a naturally occurring body protection compound (BPC) found in human gastric juice. This protein plays an important role in safeguarding the gastrointestinal lining from damage, supporting tissue repair, and stimulating the formation of new blood vessels.
Synthetic BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide made up of 15 amino acids, isolated from the larger parent BPC protein. Research indicates that it retains many of the parent compound’s regenerative properties. Studies suggest BPC-157 may influence:
-
Wound healing and tissue regeneration
-
Angiogenesis (blood vessel formation)
-
The coagulation process
-
Nitric oxide production
-
Immune system modulation
-
Gene expression
-
Hormonal regulation, particularly within the gastrointestinal nervous system
BPC-157 Peptide Research
Preclinical animal studies on BPC-157 have shown:
-
Accelerated Healing: Enhanced repair of muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, and skin injuries, including burns, via increased blood flow to damaged tissues.
-
Gastrointestinal Protection: Prevention and reversal of gastric ulcers, protection against NSAID-induced damage, and improvement in inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
-
Angiogenesis & Collagen Synthesis: Significant upregulation of angiogenic factors and stimulation of fibroblasts and macrophages, leading to robust tissue remodeling.
-
Neuroprotection: Evidence of protective effects against certain types of nervous system injury, including potential benefits in traumatic brain injury models.
-
Systemic Action: Unlike many peptides, BPC-157 appears to exert benefits both locally and systemically, including the modulation of nitric oxide pathways and oxidative stress responses.
These findings highlight BPC-157’s potential as a versatile regenerative peptide with wide-ranging applications in injury recovery and organ protection. Further human studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety in clinical settings.

Peptide Storage

Best Practices for Storing Peptides
To maintain the reliability of laboratory results, correct peptide storage is essential. Proper storage conditions help preserve peptide stability for years while protecting against contamination, oxidation, and breakdown. Although certain peptides are more sensitive than others, following these best practices will greatly extend their shelf life and structural integrity.
- Short-Term Storage (days to months): Keep peptides cool and protected from light. Temperatures below 4 °C (39 °F) are generally suitable. Lyophilized peptides often remain stable at room temperature for several weeks, but refrigeration is still preferred if use is not immediate.
- Long-Term Storage (months to years): Store peptides at –80 °C (–112 °F) for maximum stability. Avoid frost-free freezers, as defrost cycles can cause damaging temperature fluctuations.
- Minimize Freeze–Thaw Cycles: Repeated freezing and thawing accelerates degradation. Instead, divide peptides into aliquots before freezing.
Preventing Oxidation & Moisture Damage
Peptides can be compromised by exposure to moisture and air—especially immediately after removal from a freezer.
- Let the vial warm to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
- Keep containers sealed as much as possible, and if possible, reseal under a dry, inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
- Amino acids like cysteine (C), methionine (M), and tryptophan (W) are particularly sensitive to oxidation.
Storing Peptides in Solution
Peptides in solution have a much shorter lifespan compared to lyophilized form and are prone to bacterial degradation.
- If storage in solution is unavoidable, use sterile buffers at pH 5–6.
- Prepare single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
- Most peptide solutions are stable for up to 30 days at 4 °C (39 °F), but sensitive sequences should remain frozen when not in use.
Containers for Peptide Storage
Select containers that are clean, intact, chemically resistant, and appropriately sized for the sample.
- Glass vials: offer clarity, durability, and chemical resistance.
- Plastic vials: polystyrene (clear but less resistant) or polypropylene (translucent but chemically resistant).
- Peptides shipped in plastic vials may be transferred to glass for long-term storage if desired.
