BPC-157: Research Overview, Molecular Profile & Certificate of Analysis
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide - a chain of 15 amino acids - that has become a frequent subject of preclinical laboratory research. Its sequence is derived from a partial sequence of a protein identified in gastric juice, and the abbreviation "BPC" refers to "Body Protection Compound," the name used in the original research literature. As a stable, synthetic peptide supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, BPC-157 is studied in controlled in vitro and animal-model research settings only. At AurexBioLabs, BPC-157 is supplied strictly as a research compound, third-party tested for identity and purity, with a Certificate of Analysis available for every batch.

Research Context
BPC-157 has been investigated across a range of preclinical (in vitro and animal-model) studies. Published research has examined its stability characteristics and its interactions in various tissue and cellular models. In the scientific literature it is frequently described as a cytoprotective research peptide, and studies have investigated its behavior in models of the gastrointestinal tract and connective tissue. Because BPC-157 has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA for any use in humans or animals, all published findings are limited to laboratory research contexts. Researchers citing this literature should consult primary sources directly (e.g. PubMed) for study design and conclusions.
Handling & Laboratory Considerations
Storage
Lyophilized BPC-157 is typically stored frozen and protected from light for long-term stability; once reconstituted for research it is generally refrigerated and used within a limited window.
Reconstitution (research context)
Reconstituted with bacteriostatic or sterile water according to the researcher's protocol.
Stability
As a peptide it is sensitive to repeated freeze-thaw cycles, heat, and light; handling should follow standard peptide laboratory practice.
Quality & Verification at AurexBioLabs
Every batch of BPC-157 we supply is analyzed by third-party laboratories using HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity confirmation). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is published for each batch. You can confirm the identity and purity of your vial using the lot number on the label at our verification page.
