Short answer
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide of 15 amino acids. Its sequence is described as a fragment of a protein found in human gastric juice, called body protection compound (BPC).
It also appears in the literature as Bepecin, PL-14736, PLD-116, PL-10, Body Protection Compound 157.

| STRENGTH | FORM | PRICE | CERTIFICATE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5mg | Lyophilised powder | A$81 | Pending |
What has research on BPC-157 examined?
Most published work on BPC-157 comes from rodent models and cell culture (for example tendon, gastrointestinal and vascular injury models), much of it from a single research group. Human data are limited to small uncontrolled pilot reports (e.g. a 2-participant intravenous safety pilot); a PubMed search found no records indexed as controlled clinical trials.
The table lists primary sources by year and model. Findings describe the study subjects, not this research vial.
What adverse events have studies of BPC-157 reported?
Human data are limited to two small uncontrolled pilot reports: intravenous infusion in 2 adults, and a single bladder-wall injection in 12 women with interstitial cystitis. Both reported no side effects or adverse events (PMID 40131143, 39325560). No controlled human trials were found.
These findings describe the people or animals in each study. The sources list gives every PubMed record.
How do you reconstitute and store BPC-157?
Store the sealed vial frozen (about -20 degrees Celsius), dry and away from light until it is reconstituted.
After reconstitution with a sterile solvent, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Record the solvent, volume and date on the vial label.
BAC Water is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. The reconstitution guide and storage guide cover laboratory handling.
| STATE | TEMPERATURE | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed vial | -20 °C | Dry and dark. Keeps to the label date. |
| Reconstituted | 2 to 8 °C | Sterile technique. Avoid repeat freeze and thaw. |
| In transit | Cold pack | Refrigerate or freeze on arrival. |

BPC-157 is listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only). It is also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence.
Is BPC-157 a peptide?
Yes. BPC-157 is a peptide of 15 amino acids.
Is BPC-157 a prescription medicine in Australia?
BPC-157 is listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only). It is also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence. Peptides Collective sells it for laboratory research use only.
Is BPC-157 banned in sport?
WADA's 2026 Prohibited List prohibits BPC-157 at all times, under class S0.
What is the CAS number for BPC-157?
The CAS number for BPC-157 is 137525-51-0. Its PubChem CID is 9941957.
How long does an unopened BPC-157 vial keep?
A sealed vial of lyophilised powder keeps to the date on its label when stored frozen, dry and dark. Once reconstituted, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and record the date on the label.
Does every BPC-157 batch have a certificate?
Yes. Every BPC-157 batch is tested by [lab] before it goes on sale, and the certificate is published under the batch number printed on the vial. The current batch certificate is [pending].
Where is BPC-157 shipped from?
Orders ship tracked from Western Australia. Orders placed before [cut-off] leave the same business day. Delivery estimates by state are on the shipping page.
What purity is the current BPC-157 batch?
The current BPC-157 batch certificate is [pending]. When it is published, it reports purity by HPLC to three decimal places and confirms identity by mass spectrometry.
Which solvent reconstitutes BPC-157?
BAC Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. Record the solvent, volume and resulting concentration on the vial label.
