Capsules FAQ
Has oral BPC-157 been studied?
Yes, but only in animals. A 2018 review in our records reports that BPC-157 given per-orally, as well as intraperitoneally or locally, was effective across its gastrointestinal injury models. None of the human reports in our records used an oral form, so there are no human data on oral BPC-157 here.
How much BPC-157 is in each capsule?
Each capsule contains 500 mcg of BPC-157, and each bottle holds 60 capsules, or 30 mg in total. The capsule strength is a fixed product specification. It is not a dose from any study, and the studies on this page used different amounts and routes.
BPC-157 capsules or vial: what is the difference?
The vial holds 10 mg of lyophilised powder that is reconstituted with a diluent in the lab, so the concentration can be set by volume. Capsules are pre-measured at 500 mcg and need no mixing. Both are the same peptide and both are supplied for laboratory research only.
How should BPC-157 capsules be stored?
Keep the capsules in their sealed bottle, somewhere cool, dry and dark, and close the lid after each opening. Keeping moisture out matters most for a dry capsule product. Follow any storage line on the bottle label, and keep the bottle out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as ovens or car dashboards.
Are BPC-157 capsules legal in Australia?
The format does not change the legal status. BPC-157 is not registered on the ARTG and has a Schedule 4 entry in the Poisons Standard following a decision published in May 2024. Tasman supplies the capsules only as a research material for laboratory work, not for human consumption.
