Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500) in brief

Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500) is a co-formulation of BPC-157, a gastric pentadecapeptide, and TB-500, a thymosin beta-4 fragment, studied mainly in rodent tissue-repair models. Neither BPC-157 nor TB-500 is approved by the FDA for any use, and no FDA-approved product combines them. Supplied for research use only.

— About this compound

Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500).

Class · Pentadecapeptide (BPC-157) + Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (TB-500) co-formulation

Origin. BPC-157 was first characterized at the University of Zagreb by the Sikiric laboratory in the early 1990s as a stable fragment of body protection compound, a polypeptide identified in gastric juice. Thymosin Beta-4 (the parent peptide of TB-500) was originally isolated from bovine thymus by Allan Goldstein in 1981.

BPC-157 is a synthetic pentadecapeptide consisting of fifteen amino acids (Gly-Glu-Pro-Pro-Pro-Gly-Lys-Pro-Ala-Asp-Asp-Ala-Gly-Leu-Val) derived from a fragment of body protection compound, a polypeptide originally identified in human gastric juice. It is notable in the peptide literature for unusually high stability in acidic environments — a property that has made it a frequent subject of preclinical investigation.

TB-500 is a synthetic acetylated 17-amino-acid fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a 43-amino-acid peptide naturally expressed in most mammalian tissues. The fragment corresponds to the active actin-binding region of the parent peptide.

The Wolverine co-formulation places both peptides in a single lyophilized vial at 10 mg each. Researchers requesting this blend most commonly cite combined-pathway repair studies as their rationale for the pairing.

— Common research applications

  • Tissue-repair pathway investigation
  • Tendon and ligament healing models
  • Vascular angiogenesis research
  • GI mucosal integrity studies
  • Actin cytoskeleton dynamics

— Mechanism

How it's been studied.

BPC-157 has been investigated in preclinical models for effects on angiogenesis (VEGF/VEGFR2 axis modulation), nitric oxide system regulation, growth hormone receptor expression, and dopaminergic / serotonergic system interactions. TB-500 functions primarily as an actin-sequestering protein involved in cell motility, organogenesis, and the regulation of actin polymerization in research models. Both peptides remain under active investigation; mechanisms described above reflect preclinical findings, not clinical conclusions.

Mechanism descriptions reflect findings reported in the preclinical and basic-research literature. They are not clinical conclusions and not statements of therapeutic effect.

What does the published research on Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500) show?+

No study of the combination has been published; the literature belongs to each component. BPC-157's record is mostly rat repair studies from the Sikiric group (Current Pharmaceutical Design 2014), and thymosin beta-4's repair biology is reviewed by Goldstein (Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy 2012). The BPC-157 + TB-500 (Wolverine) monograph at meritsciences.com/library/bpc-157-tb-500 lists the references, and The Assay, Merit's editorial publication, reviews the evidence at theassay.co/articles/bpc-157-vs-tb-500.

Both peptides remain under active investigation; mechanisms described above reflect preclinical findings, not clinical conclusions.

What class of compound is Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500)?+

Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500) is classified as pentadecapeptide (BPC-157) + Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (TB-500) co-formulation.

What is the reported half-life of Wolverine (BPC-157 + TB-500)?+

BPC-157: ~4 hr (preclinical, rat). TB-500: not well-characterized in the public literature.

Why does Merit ship lyophilized?+

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) material is stable in sealed storage: ≥24 months at -20°C. Peptides held in solution degrade far faster, so every compound ships as a dry powder in a sealed vial.

What does "independently assayed" actually mean?+

Every batch is tested by a laboratory independent of the facility that made it, and the certificate is published before the batch is listed. You read the same identity and purity figures we do, which is what separates Merit from a reseller catalog.

How fast does it ship?+

48 hours from order to dispatch, Monday through Thursday. UPS Ground, tracked + insured. From San Antonio, TX, most US addresses receive within 3-5 business days.
