FAQ
- What is BPC-157 and how is it made?
- BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide whose sequence derives from a human gastric protein. It is produced entirely in a laboratory and is not extracted from living tissue.
- How do you reconstitute lyophilized BPC-157 for lab use?
- Add bacteriostatic water to the vial (e.g., 2 mL into a 5 mg vial yields 2.5 mg/mL). Inject water slowly down the vial wall, then swirl gently until the powder fully dissolves. Do not shake.
- What is the regulatory and sport status of BPC-157?
- BPC-157 is not approved by the FDA and is not a licensed pharmaceutical product; it is classed as an unapproved drug substance. It is banned under WADA's S0 (Non-Approved Substances) category at all times, in and out of competition.
