BPC-157: the public record

Searched ingredient and product names in the NDC Directory download for the exact name variants, then counted listings by FDA marketing category and by listing firm.

Scope: Current NDC Directory listings whose ingredient or product name contains BPC 157 or BPC-157

Firms submit listings themselves. A listing does not mean FDA has reviewed the substance for safety or effectiveness, or that it may lawfully be compounded.

Counted enforcement report entries matched by FDA's listed active substance, or by the name in the product description where FDA lists none. Reasons were grouped by keywords in FDA's stated reason.

Scope: Recalls whose product description names BPC-157, including compounded and multi-ingredient products

Each recall covers specific lots from one firm and is not a statement about every product with this ingredient. One event can appear as several entries, one per product.

Searched the ClinicalTrials.gov intervention field for the name, downloaded every matching record and counted by overall status and phase. Combined phases are counted under the higher phase. Phase not applicable covers observational, device and behavioural studies.

Scope: Studies whose intervention field matches BPC 157 or BPC-157, any condition, any country, all statuses

A registered study is not a result. Counts include studies where the drug is a comparator or background treatment, and studies that never finished or reported.

Ran a PubMed title and abstract search for the exact name variants shown and recorded the count for each publication year. No filtering by study type or quality.

Scope: PubMed records with 'BPC 157' or 'BPC-157' in the title or abstract, all article types and species

A paper that mentions a compound is not evidence that it works or is safe in people. Counts include animal, cell, review and opinion papers.
