The decision path

Three stages. The first two are complete.

This tracker separates the stages that headlines often collapse together.

FDA staff review
Against inclusion

Published in FDA’s meeting briefing packet.

PCAC recommendation
Recommend inclusion

BPC-157 (free base): Yes 8, No 6, Abstain 1. BPC-157 acetate: Yes 8, No 6, Abstain 1. Advisory and non-binding.

Final FDA determination
Pending

FDA says it will consider committee input and complete its review.

What staff says

FDA staff says the evaluation criteria weigh against placing both BPC-157 free base and BPC-157 acetate on the 503A Bulks List.

FDA says neither form is a component of an FDA-approved drug. Its briefing also says the nominations contained inconsistent substance information and that it did not identify clinical studies for several nominated uses, including tendonitis.

Uses on the agenda
  • Ulcerative colitis

The committee review is not a review of tendon repair, gym recovery, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, or the broader “healing peptide” claims circulating online.

Keep the categories straight

What this committee recommendation does not change

It does not place a substance on the list. The advisory vote supplies non-binding advice for FDA’s later action.
It is not FDA’s final determination. FDA says the committee’s advice is non-binding and is one part of its review.
It is not drug approval. FDA’s briefing says neither form is a component of an FDA-approved drug.
It is not a product-quality finding. It does not verify the identity, purity, sterility, or safety of anything sold online.
14-vote package · independently verifiedJuly 23, 2026

The committee recommended inclusion for both forms.

The forms were separate questions and received separate tallies. This is advisory committee input, not FDA approval, final list placement, or FDA's final determination.
