We Tested BPC-157 From 12 Companies. Here’s What We Found.
23 samples, 12 sellers, one compound with almost no human evidence behind it. Measured purity ranged from 61% to 98.9%.
Institute InvestigationAlso known as: PDA
A recently marketed BPC-157 relative promoted for tissue repair, with claims that currently outpace the published evidence by a wide margin.
Pentadeca Arginate is classified as a pentadecapeptide arginate salt. Its current development status is: preclinical. The published evidence is thin, largely non-independent, or does not address the uses this compound is marketed for.
The Peptide Institute tracks Pentadeca Arginate because it is actively sold through research-compound and telehealth channels. Our interest is narrow and specific: what is actually in the vial, whether the label is accurate, and whether the sellers of it can document what they claim. We take no position on whether anyone should use it.
