How to store BPC-157

Practical storage protocol for BPC-157: temperature, light, reconstitution timing, and shelf life in a research setting.

Lyophilised (freeze-dried) storage

Unreconstituted BPC-157, like most research peptides, is stable when stored in its original sealed vial at -20°C for long-term storage. For short-term use (under 3 months), refrigeration at 2-8°C is acceptable. The vial must be protected from direct light and moisture.

Peptify dispatches BPC-157 in temperature-tolerant packaging from the UK, usually arriving within 24-48 hours of dispatch.

After reconstitution

Once BPC-157 is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water, 0.9% benzyl alcohol), the solution should be stored at 2-8°C (refrigerated) and used within 28 days. Bacteriostatic water's preservative system inhibits microbial growth for roughly four weeks after first puncture — significantly longer than sterile water, which must be used immediately.

Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Never leave the vial at room temperature for extended periods, and keep it in its original rubber-stoppered vial to minimise contamination risk.

Shelf life and quality verification

Peptify publishes a batch-specific expiry date on every BPC-157 COA, alongside HPLC chromatogram data and mass spectrometry confirmation. The full Certificate of Analysis for your specific batch is downloadable from the product page.

Frequently asked questions

What is BPC-157 used for in research?

BPC-157 is primarily studied in the tissue-research literature — tendon, ligament, and skeletal-myocyte pathway investigation — and in gastrointestinal-protection and epithelial-barrier research.

Is BPC-157 legal in the UK?

Yes. BPC-157 is legal to purchase in the UK strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use. It is not approved, intended, or sold for human or animal consumption. Peptify does not endorse or promote the use of any compound outside of a controlled research setting. All research information on this site describes published scientific findings and does not constitute medical advice or a recommendation for personal use.

What purity should BPC-157 be?

Research-grade BPC-157 should be 99%+ HPLC-verified. All Peptify BPC-157 meets this standard with third-party testing.
