Catalog Description

BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide widely marketed for recovery. Most evidence is from cells and animals. Published human evidence includes a two-person IV safety pilot and small uncontrolled reports; a registered oral trial did not produce a public efficacy dataset. FDA's July 2026 review emphasized uncertain substance characterization, limited human safety, and inadequate evidence of effectiveness. An advisory committee vote on compounding is nonbinding and does not make BPC-157 FDA-approved.

Research Notes

Current vendors commonly list 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg lyophilized vials plus 250-500 ug capsules. BPC-157 remains unapproved. The July 23, 2026 advisory vote was not an FDA approval or final compounding rule. It is prohibited at all times for athletes under WADA S0.

Supplementary research context only. Not medical advice or a treatment recommendation.
