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.

5-Amino-1MQ Capsules – NNMT Inhibitor for Metabolic Research

5-Amino-1MQ is a cell-permeable, selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide and plays a regulatory role in cellular energy metabolism. Unlike peptides, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, but it has become a key compound in metabolic research alongside peptide-based weight management tools.

Research Background

NNMT and fat metabolism – NNMT is highly expressed in white adipose tissue. Research shows that NNMT inhibition reduces fat cell size, increases energy expenditure, and shifts cellular metabolism toward a more thermogenic profile. 5-Amino-1MQ is one of the most studied selective NNMT inhibitors for this purpose.

NAD+ salvage pathway – NNMT consumes nicotinamide (a NAD+ precursor) through methylation. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ preserves the NAD+ salvage pathway, potentially increasing intracellular NAD+ availability. This connects metabolic research to the broader longevity and sirtuin biology field.

No CNS effects – 5-Amino-1MQ does not cross the blood-brain barrier in preclinical models, confining its activity to peripheral tissues. This peripheral selectivity is useful for researchers studying metabolic pathways without CNS confounders.
