About the compound
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, a chain of fifteen amino acids derived from a partial sequence of a protective protein identified in gastric juice, which is the origin of the name body protection compound. It carries CAS number 137525-51-0 and a molecular weight of 1419.53. Its compact structure is noted in the research literature for relative stability in aqueous and gastric environments compared with many larger peptides.
In the research literature, BPC-157 is examined for interactions with angiogenic and cytoprotective pathways, including reported effects on nitric oxide signalling and the upregulation of growth-factor receptors involved in new blood-vessel formation. Studies also describe modulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor pathway and influence on fibroblast behaviour. These proposed mechanisms are characterised in experimental models and remain the focus of ongoing laboratory investigation rather than settled fact.
Within the tissue-repair and gastrointestinal research field, BPC-157 is studied for its reported influence on connective-tissue models, tendon and ligament fibroblast cultures, and gut-lining integrity in experimental systems. It frequently appears in comparative studies alongside TB-500, another peptide investigated in recovery-oriented research. Laboratories sourcing BPC-157 UK stock typically reference these published models when designing controlled experiments and characterising observed outcomes under defined conditions.
Sova Peptides supplies BPC-157 as a lyophilised research material intended for in-vitro and laboratory study by qualified researchers. Each batch is characterised by reverse-phase HPLC and ESI mass spectrometry, with a batch-linked Certificate of Analysis available for verification against the expected molecular weight. Storage and handling follow standard lyophilised-peptide practice. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only and is not for human or veterinary use.

FAQ
BPC-157, answered.
What is BPC-157?
+
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a partial sequence of a protein found in gastric juice, hence body protection compound. It carries CAS number 137525-51-0 and a molecular weight of 1419.53, and is used as a reference material in laboratory tissue-repair research.
Is BPC-157 legal to buy in the UK?
+
BPC-157 is not a licensed medicine in the UK and is offered strictly as a research chemical for laboratory use only. Supply and purchase for that purpose are permitted when it is not marketed for human consumption, with compliant handling resting on the purchasing researcher or institution.
What is BPC-157 studied for?
+
In the research literature, BPC-157 is investigated for reported effects in tissue-repair models, including tendon, ligament and muscle fibroblast systems, and for gastrointestinal-lining integrity in experimental settings. These studies are exploratory and conducted in laboratory or animal models, not as evidence of any effect in humans.
How is Sova's BPC-157 verified?
+
Each batch of Sova's BPC-157 is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC to assess identity and by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm its molecular weight against the expected 1419.53. A batch-linked Certificate of Analysis accompanies every lot so researchers can trace the specific material they receive.
How should BPC-157 be stored?
+
Lyophilised BPC-157 is typically kept cold and away from light, refrigerated for short periods and frozen for longer-term storage. Once reconstituted for research, solutions are generally refrigerated and used within a limited window, with containers sealed to limit moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycling.
Is BPC-157 studied alongside TB-500?
+
BPC-157 and TB-500 are frequently studied together in recovery-oriented research because they act through different reported mechanisms, BPC-157 around angiogenic and growth-factor pathways and TB-500 around actin regulation and cell migration. Researchers sometimes examine them in parallel, though each remains a distinct compound.
