BPC-157 5mg

BPC-157 at a glance

BPC-157, also catalogued under the code PL 14736, is a fifteen-amino-acid synthetic peptide. Its sequence corresponds to part of a larger protein reported in human gastric secretions, and the name Body Protection Compound reflects the stomach-lining work that first brought it attention. It is not known to circulate as a hormone in its own right, and research material is made by solid-phase synthesis. On GLP1 Forum Escrow it is usually listed as a freeze-dried powder, sold by vial weight.

Price and availability

A single 5mg vial from Arctic Labs, shipped from the United States. The price is $39.99, or $8.00 per milligram of peptide. 24 brands sell BPC-157 on GLP1 Forum Escrow, with a typical price of $0.581–$4.40 per mg (median $1.70); this listing is above the typical range. Checkout goes into escrow first; the funds move to Arctic Labs once delivery is confirmed.

What it is studied for

No single receptor has been pinned down for BPC-157, and that gap is part of why its biology remains contested. Rodent and cell papers describe several candidate routes. One is angiogenesis, with reports of increased VEGFR2 signaling in endothelial cells. Another is the nitric oxide system, where the peptide has been described as shifting NO-related responses in different directions depending on the model. Further work points to changes in growth hormone receptor expression in tendon fibroblasts and to FAK-paxillin activity linked with cell migration. All of these remain hypotheses pending independent confirmation.

Research and regulatory status

Almost everything published on BPC-157 comes from animal and in vitro experiments, much of it from one research group in Zagreb. Models include tendon and ligament transection, muscle crush, colitis, gastric lesions and peripheral nerve damage. Human data are minimal: an early clinical program in inflammatory bowel disease was reported but never yielded published efficacy results. The peptide has no regulatory approval anywhere, and US regulators have flagged it as lacking adequate safety information for use in compounding.

Checking the lab data

A credible report should identify the peptide by mass spectrometry, with the observed mass matching the value calculated for the 15-residue sequence, and give HPLC purity from a lot-specific chromatogram. Net peptide content per vial, measured against the label, is worth more than purity alone. The lyophilized cake should look white and uniform, without collapse or discoloration. Reports from an independent laboratory, dated and tied to the batch number, carry the most weight.

Storage and preparation

Freeze-dried peptide keeps best sealed, cold and dark. Once it has been dissolved, refrigerate it, avoid repeated warming and follow the stability limits in your study protocol.

Concentration arithmetic: one 5 mg vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, or 5 mg/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.
