What is BPC-157 and what is Semax?
BPC-157 is classified as Synthetic pentadecapeptide · tissue-repair research; Semax as Synthetic heptapeptide · neuro research. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
BPC-157
Synthetic pentadecapeptide · tissue-repair research
BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide, a chain of 15 amino acids, derived from a partial sequence of a protein identified in human gastric juice, sometimes referred to as Body Protection Compound. It is a stable, water-soluble peptide and one of the most frequently cited reference compounds in tissue-repair and cellular research.

Synthetic heptapeptide · neuro research
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide, a seven-amino-acid chain based on a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH(4–10), with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension added for stability. Verve supplies it as a high-purity research compound for neuroscience research.
