Single component
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound 157
A synthetic pentadecapeptide — fifteen amino acids — derived from a sequence found in human gastric juice protein. It is not an approved medicine anywhere, and it is on the WADA prohibited list.
Identity
The molecule.
- Formula
- C62H98N16O22
- Molecular weight
- 1419.54 · free peptide
- Sequence
- Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val
Solubility
How much water it needs.

Cross-check: 100 ÷ 1419.54 × 1000 = 70.4 mM — matches. A search snippet claiming 2.5 mg/mL was wrong by 40×.
Used in the calculatorThe solver treats 100 mg/mL as the ceiling for BPC-157 and will not return a water volume that puts the solution above it.
Storage
Keeping it.
Refrigerate after reconstitution.
We print no beyond-use date. Why that number is missing
The papers
What the research studied.
Every paper here is on PubMed and you can open it yourself. They all studied BPC-157 on its own, not in a blend, and mostly in animals.

Safety and Efficacy of Approved and Unapproved Peptide Therapies for Musculoskeletal Injuries and Athletic Performance
Reviews the pharmacology, safety profile and regulatory status of twelve peptides sold direct to patients — BPC-157, GHK-Cu and TB-500 among them. Describes the market in unapproved compounds as operating largely outside regulatory oversight.

The name
What else it gets called.
BPC-157 is the short form; the full name is Body Protection Compound 157. Suppliers and forum posts use these interchangeably and search engines treat them as separate things, so a figure you found under one of the other names was still about this molecule.

- Bepecin

What we could not source
The gaps, named.
Every figure above says where it came from. These are the ones we went looking for and could not find. Each one ends with what we do about it. Admitting you do not know something and then carrying on regardless is not admitting anything.
A CAS number for BPC-157 — the official chemical ID
We could not find one printed on a supplier page that we opened ourselves. Numbers floating around in forum posts are not something we are willing to copy.
What we do So we leave the field off this page entirely, rather than fill it in with a number we have not checked.
How long BPC-157 keeps once mixed, in a normal fridge
Suppliers give you storage conditions for the dry powder in a −20 °C freezer. Nothing we found says anything about a mixed vial sitting at 2–8 °C.
What we do So we print no use-by date and no countdown, anywhere on this site or in anything you download.
