What exactly is BPC-157, and where does the 5mg tier fit?
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide fragment of Body Protective Compound, studied in pre-clinical cytoprotection and connective-tissue models. The 5mg per vial tier is the entry / small-cohort presentation, suited to protocol development or single-run cohorts where working stock turns over quickly. Both tiers ship as kits of 10 vials or single vials.
What does this specific lot’s CoA cover?
Every BC5-5MG-10V lot ships with a batch-specific certificate: reverse-phase HPLC purity by area and mass-spec identity against theoretical mass. The CoA is not a stability panel — those are separate assays we do not run in-house.
How do I reconstitute a 5mg BPC-157 vial?
- Wipe the vial stopper with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 1 to 2 mL of bacteriostatic water.
- Inject the diluent slowly against the vial wall — do not aim at the peptide cake.
- Swirl gently to dissolve. Do not shake.
- Store the reconstituted vial at 2 to 8 °C. Use within 30 days.
Should I order the 5mg or 10mg tier?
Entry / small-cohort tier. Suited to protocol development or single-run cohorts where working stock turns over quickly. If the study needs multi-week working stocks from a single reconstitution, BC10 reduces per-vial reconstitution overhead.
How does BPC-157 compare with TB-500 for tissue-repair studies?
BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid pentadecapeptide derived from a gastric juice protein; TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of the actin-binding thymosin beta-4. They are frequently studied together in tissue-repair models because their reported mechanisms (cytoprotective vs angiogenic) do not overlap. The Prescott catalogue carries both individually and as the BB10 or BB20 blend.
What ships in the box, and how fast?
- 10 lyophilized BPC-157 5mg vials
- 1 lot-specific certificate of analysis (HPLC + MS)
- 1 handling and reconstitution insert
