What the research literature covers
The characterization below reflects published research literature only. It describes what that literature examines; it is not a statement about use in people. BPC-157 is investigational research material and is not an approved product.
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15–amino-acid peptide (a pentadecapeptide) whose sequence corresponds to a partial fragment identified in gastric juice. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only.
Its sequence carries an unusually high proportion of proline residues, a structural feature commonly associated in the peptide literature with resistance to enzymatic degradation and stability in aqueous solution.
Reported mechanism · literaturePublished research literature describes BPC-157 in the context of angiogenesis and nitric-oxide–system signalling in animal and cell models; the characterization here summarizes that literature and is not a statement about outcomes in humans.

BPC-157 and GHK-Cu, side by side
These two are frequently discussed together. They are different molecules, with different sequences and different molar masses. The table states what each one is and what its current lot assayed. It does not say which is preferable for any purpose, and nothing on this site does.

Purity, and how to check it yourself
Purity here is a measurement, not a position. The lot currently shipping was analysed by Janoshik, an independent laboratory, by HPLC for identity and assayed purity. We do not test our own material.

Enter that key at janoshik.com/verify and the laboratory returns the report it issued for this batch. You are confirming the result with them, not with us. The full certificate is published as a PDF on the BPC-157 certificate page.
We report HPLC identity and assayed purity only. We do not run heavy-metal, microbial, endotoxin, or sterility analysis, and we do not claim it anywhere on this site.
Handling and stability
- Lyophilized
- −20°C · 24 months (sealed, desiccated)
- Reconstituted
- 2–8°C · weeks (research handling)
Reconstitution solvent: sterile bacteriostatic water. Reconstitution parameters are a laboratory-handling matter determined by the researcher; no in-vivo or human-use parameters are provided. The concentration arithmetic for a reconstituted research solution is available in our reconstitution calculator.
Questions
What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids) supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research use only. Ouralus provides it with a third-party HPLC certificate of analysis published where tested.
What is the amino-acid sequence of BPC-157?
The reported sequence is Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val, with molecular formula C62H98N16O22 (PubChem CID 9941957, CAS 137525-51-0).
How is BPC-157 stored?
As a lyophilized powder, sealed and desiccated at −20°C. Storage and reconstitution beyond that are laboratory-handling matters for the researcher.
Is BPC-157 third-party tested?
Yes. The lot currently shipping was analysed by Janoshik, an independent laboratory, by HPLC for identity and assayed purity, and assayed 99.497%. The certificate carries verify key RMAIPH836PXJ, which you can confirm directly at janoshik.com/verify.
Is BPC-157 an approved product?
No. BPC-157 is supplied strictly as a research chemical for laboratory research use only. It is not a drug, not a supplement, and not a food, and it is not for human or animal consumption.
