BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of 15 amino acids, derived from a protein naturally found in human gastric juice. It is widely studied in preclinical research for its role in tissue repair, angiogenesis, and cytoprotective signalling.

How do I reconstitute BPC-157?

Reconstitute with 1-2 ml of bacteriostatic water. Allow the vial to reach room temperature, inject solvent gently down the inside wall, and swirl gently. Never shake. Store reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and use within 4-6 weeks.

What purity is BioLab's BPC-157?

Every batch is independently tested via HPLC and mass spectrometry to confirm 99%+ purity and correct molecular identity. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is available with every order.

How should I store BPC-157?

Store lyophilised vials at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2-8°C and use within 4-6 weeks. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

VIP 5 mg – Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide

VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide) is a 28-amino-acid peptide hormone belonging to the glucagon-secretin superfamily. First isolated from porcine small intestine in 1970, VIP is now known to be widely distributed throughout the CNS, peripheral nervous system, gut, pancreas, and immune cells. It signals through two G-protein coupled receptors: VPAC1 and VPAC2.

Research Background

Anti-inflammatory activity – VIP is one of the most studied endogenous anti-inflammatory peptides. It inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-12), promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine release (IL-10), and modulates macrophage and dendritic cell function. It has been investigated in autoimmune and inflammatory disease models.

Neuroprotection – VIP acts as a neurotrophic factor, promoting neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. VPAC2 receptor activation in the suprachiasmatic nucleus also plays a role in circadian rhythm regulation.

Pulmonary research – VIP is a potent vasodilator and bronchodilator. Research has explored its effects in pulmonary hypertension, COPD, and airway inflammation models, where it may modulate both vascular tone and immune responses.

Gut-brain axis – As a peptide present in both the enteric nervous system and CNS, VIP is relevant to gut-brain axis research, including studies on intestinal motility, mucosal immunity, and neuroimmune crosstalk.
