How it works (mechanism)

Single-chain peptide derivative of relaxin that retains binding to relaxin receptor RXFP1 with anti-fibrotic signaling, but lacks the cardiovascular receptor crosstalk responsible for relaxin's hypotensive effect.

When NOT to use

  • Hypotension or unstable cardiovascular status

Common mistakes

  • Treating community-vendor B7-33 as research grade clinical material
  • Running it without published human safety data
  • Stacking it with anything else

What it actually is

B7-33 is a single-chain peptide built from relaxin, the hormone that softens connective tissue in pregnancy. Relaxin has strong anti-fibrotic effects — it reduces scar tissue formation — but it also drops blood pressure and is hard to manufacture. B7-33 was designed to keep the anti-fibrotic action in a simpler molecule. It is preclinical: zero human trials, and no human dosing protocol exists.

Fibrosis is scar tissue replacing functional tissue, and it is what makes chronic damage to heart, lung, liver or kidney permanent. Relaxin acts on the RXFP1 receptor and biases signalling away from the pathways that lay down collagen. B7-33 is a fragment engineered to keep that biased signalling. In animal models it reduces fibrosis in heart and lung. Nothing about that has been tested in a person, and the peptide's measured stability is poor enough that how it would be delivered is itself unresolved.

Forms, and which is which

Research use onlyLaboratory work

Everything published is preclinical. There is no human protocol, and per-kilogram animal doses are not directly translatable to people.

Verdict: The honest description of where this compound is.

Lipidated B7-33Extending a very short half-life

The native peptide has a measured in-vitro half-life of about six minutes; a lipidated version extends that. No in-vivo pharmacokinetics in humans exist for either.

Verdict: A chemistry fix to an unsolved delivery problem.

Products sold as B7-33Nothing

Buyer reconstitutes a compound with no human dosing basis and no identity assurance.

Verdict: Unverified material, no protocol to follow even if it were genuine.

Serelaxin (recombinant relaxin)The tested parent

Full relaxin went through large heart failure trials and did not meet its endpoints.

Verdict: The parent molecule's clinical programme did not succeed.

What it is claimed to do, graded

Reduces fibrosisNone shown

Demonstrated in animal models of cardiac and renal fibrosis. Zero human trials, zero randomised trials.

Retains relaxin's cardioprotective effectsLimited

A 2023 paper reports it maintains cardioprotection in a model system. Model-system evidence.

Avoids relaxin's blood-pressure dropNone shown

The design intent. Untested in people, and hypotension remains listed as a theoretical effect.

Has a usable human doseNone shown

No human protocol exists at all. Anyone selling a dosing schedule invented it.

Grades describe how much human evidence exists for that specific claim, not whether it will work for you or whether it is safe.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • The anti-fibrotic target is genuinely important — fibrosis is what makes organ damage permanent
  • Relaxin biology is well characterised and the receptor biology is real
  • Simpler and cheaper to manufacture than full relaxin, which was a real obstacle
Cons
  • Zero human trials — grade D on the site's own ladder and preclinical in reality
  • No human dosing protocol exists, so any dose being sold was made up
  • Measured half-life of around six minutes for the native peptide
  • Theoretical hypotensive effect, which is the relaxin family's known problem
  • The full-length parent, serelaxin, failed its large clinical trials

When to stop

  • Lightheadedness, faintness or a measured blood pressure drop
  • Injection-site reaction that spreads
  • Honestly: before starting, given there is no human dosing basis at all

Interactions

AntihypertensivesCaution

The relaxin family lowers blood pressure. Additive hypotension is the predictable concern.

VasodilatorsCaution

Same direction, compounded.

PregnancyAvoid

Relaxin is a pregnancy hormone with major effects on connective tissue. Introducing an analog is entirely unstudied.

Anything elseCaution

There is no human interaction literature whatsoever for this compound.

Nothing establishedCaution

Absence of documented interactions here reflects absence of study, not safety.

Is this for you?

Probably worth reading further if
  • Laboratory research. There is no human context for this compound yet
Skip it if
  • You have low blood pressure or unstable cardiovascular status
  • You are pregnant or nursing
  • You want a dose you can trust — none exists

Member answer
is 250mcg of bpc enough for a knee injury?
For a knee, is the standard working dose and a solid place to start. The trick with BPC is consistency, give it weeks, not days. , run it , and don't drop below , results tend to fall off under that line. If nothing's moved by week 3, that's when earns its place.
how much bac water for a 10mg reta vial?
is the standard play for a 10 mg reta vial. That gives you , clean unit math across the whole titration: on a 100-unit insulin syringe. Run instead if you want fewer, more concentrated shots. Most people titrate up over , and that mix keeps the numbers cleanest.
what should i track on bloodwork for tirzepatide?
Lipid panel, ALT/AST (liver enzymes), and an A1C, baseline before you start then every 3 months. If you've got metabolic-syndrome history, add fasting glucose and insulin so you can actually watch insulin sensitivity improve. You don't need a big hormone panel for a GLP-1.

Frequently asked

What is B7-33?+
B7-33 is a single-chain fragment of relaxin designed to keep the anti-fibrotic effect (good for hearts, kidneys, lungs) without dropping blood pressure (the side effect of full relaxin). Pre-clinical only. Don't use this without medical oversight.
Is B7-33 FDA approved?+
Not FDA approved. Pre-clinical research compound.
Is B7-33 legal?+
B7-33 is not FDA-approved, so there is no approved prescription version. Most supply is sold as "research only" by peptide vendors. A compounding pharmacy may only use substances the FDA permits for compounding, and many research peptides are not permitted — do not assume a compounded prescription is available. Possession is generally not criminalized but distribution without authorization may be. Verify local laws.
Is B7-33 banned by WADA?+
B7-33 is not currently on the WADA prohibited list.
Are you still natty after taking B7-33?+
No. B7-33 is a performance-enhancing peptide and would disqualify a strict natty claim.
Do doctors prescribe B7-33?+
Not prescribed in conventional medicine.
What's the typical dose of B7-33?+
Dosing depends on your goal, experience, and tolerance. The full B7-33 protocol (dose, frequency, and how to titrate) is in the members section on the entry page.
What are the side effects of B7-33?+
Common side effects include: Limited human data; Theoretical hypotensive effect; Injection-site reaction. Less common effects and full safety details are on the entry page.
How long until B7-33 starts working?+
No documented human user reports of acute effects.
What can you stack with B7-33?+
B7-33 is commonly combined with complementary compounds. The full stacking protocol (what to pair, dosing, and timing) is in the members section on the entry page.
Where do people get B7-33?+
Pepdex does not sell, ship, or recommend suppliers. B7-33 is not FDA-approved; prescription versions require licensed clinical care, and "research only" markets carry real legal and quality risks. /coa explains how to verify a Certificate of Analysis and /guides/scam-vendor-spotting covers the red flags.
