GLOW (BPC-157 + TB-500 + GHK-Cu): research overview
GLOW is a ready blend of three research peptides in one lyophilized vial: BPC-157, TB-500 and GHK-Cu. It is a research reagent used mainly in vitro and in animal models. Bringing the three components together in one package simplifies experiment planning in tissue biology.
What GLOW is
Each component has its own origin and structure:
- BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide, a chain of 15 amino acids. Its sequence was derived from a fragment of a protein found in gastric juice.
- TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of the naturally occurring protein thymosin beta-4.
- GHK-Cu is the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine bound to a copper(II) ion. It is described in the literature as occurring naturally in plasma.
Mechanism described in research
Preclinical models have described BPC-157 as interacting with the nitric oxide system and with growth factor expression. TB-500 binds actin, the protein that governs cell shape and movement, and in vitro studies link it to cell migration and vessel formation. GHK-Cu has been studied in cell cultures for its effects on collagen synthesis and the extracellular matrix. Together, the three components are analyzed in questions about repair processes in tissues.
Research areas
- Models of tendon, ligament and muscle repair.
- Models of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
- Wound healing and skin studies in cell cultures.
- Angiogenesis and cell migration in in vitro assays.
- Collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix remodeling.
Product profile
| Component | Amount per vial | Form | Purity |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | 10 mg | lyophilized | ≥ 99% (HPLC) |

Available variant: 10 mg + 10 mg + 50 mg in one vial. Mass of every batch confirmed by MS.
Working in the laboratory
- Lyophilized powder: store at -20 °C, tightly sealed.
- Solution: once dissolved, keep at 2-8 °C.
- Freezing: avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
- Solvent: bacteriostatic water is the standard solvent. Dilute acetic acid is used for components with limited water solubility. The choice depends on your study protocol.
- Concentration: calculate volumes and concentrations in our concentration calculator.
Batch quality
Every batch is checked by HPLC, which confirms purity of at least 99%, and by MS, which confirms molecular mass. Read more about our process on the quality page.
