BPC-157 for laboratory research
A synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide, supplied for enquiries from qualified laboratories with batch documentation on request.
Overview
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide (15 amino acids). It is commonly described as a partial sequence of a larger protein, termed "body protection compound", originally characterised from gastric juice. It is widely referenced in preclinical laboratory literature.
BPC-157 is not an approved medicine in the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union. NEXA lists it solely as a reference entry for non-clinical laboratory research enquiries.

Values shown are standard literature reference values for the free peptide. The salt form (for example acetate or trifluoroacetate), net peptide content and observed mass must be confirmed against the batch Certificate of Analysis.
Documentation available on request
- Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, including the testing method, date and issuing laboratory
- HPLC purity with chromatogram, and mass spectrometry identity with observed and theoretical mass
- Net peptide content and salt form, where determined
- Batch number traceable to the vial label and invoice
No purity, testing or stock claim is published without supporting records. Read our guide on how to read a peptide Certificate of Analysis.
Regulatory status and eligibility
BPC-157 is not authorised as a medicine. Its status for laboratory supply and import varies by country, and destination rules are reviewed before any supply is considered.
Requests must come from a laboratory or research organisation and describe a legitimate non-clinical research purpose. Personal-use requests are declined. Import requirements in the destination country are the customer's responsibility.
