BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids derived from a protective protein found in gastric juice. With a molecular weight of 1419.54 g/mol and the amino acid sequence GEPPPGKPADDAGLV, it has become one of the most extensively researched peptides in the field of tissue repair and musculoskeletal recovery.
Research literature has explored BPC-157’s interactions with growth hormone receptors, nitric oxide synthesis, and angiogenesis pathways, making it a subject of sustained interest among researchers studying soft tissue, tendon, ligament, and gut barrier function.
Each Etched Research vial contains 10mg of lyophilized powder. Every laboratory report Etched holds is published in full on our COA page, including the compounds for which we hold no report at all.

FOR IN VITRO RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, INGESTION, OR ANY IN VIVO USE.
- What it is: A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide first drawn from a protein found in stomach fluid.
- Researchers have studied it for: Tendon and ligament healing, muscle repair after injury, and new blood vessel growth at an injury site.
- Evidence level: Almost all animal and in-vitro models. No human trials.
- The short version: Nearly every BPC-157 study so far used rats or isolated cells, not people. Researchers watched connective tissue like tendon and ligament repair faster in those models, and looked at collagen and blood vessel signals as the reason why. What that would mean in a person is still unstudied, and none of it is a safety conclusion.
