what each one is
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.

Mitochondrial-derived 16-amino-acid peptide
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded not by nuclear DNA but by a short open reading frame within the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. It belongs to the mitochondrial-derived peptide family, a group of small peptides that are of interest in research precisely because their genetic origin sits inside the organelle rather than the nucleus.

What is BPC-157?
BPC-157 is a synthetic 15-amino-acid peptide (a pentadecapeptide) based on a sequence found in human gastric juice. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is BPC-157 studied for in research?
In in-vitro and pre-clinical research it is used as a reference compound in models of tissue repair, angiogenesis, cell migration, and extracellular-matrix remodeling. Verve makes no claims about use in humans or animals.
What is MOTS-C?
MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded by a short open reading frame in the mitochondrial genome. Verve supplies it as a research compound for laboratory use only, not for human or veterinary use.
What is MOTS-C studied for in research?
It is used in mitochondrial-signaling research, including AMPK pathway activity, one-carbon metabolism, and retrograde signaling between mitochondria and the nucleus in in-vitro and pre-clinical models. Verve makes no health claims.
