The invention discloses a preparation method using Escherichia coli to express oligopeptide-1. The method comprises the following steps: 1, carrying out engineering bacteria fermentation: picking single colony from a preserved strain tube, inoculating a culture medium with the single colony, adding ampicillin, and carrying out shaking culture; 2, carrying out expanded bed adsorption: centrifuging a fermentation liquid by using a refrigerated centrifuge, removing the obtained precipitate, reserving the fermentation liquid, adding the fermentation liquid to an expanded bed, eluting, collecting a human oligopeptide-1-containing eluate at the elution peak, and preserving the eluate for later use; 3, carrying out gel separation: adding the eluate to a gel chromatography column through a chromatographic system, eluting with a buffer solution, and reserving the eluate obtained at an absorption peak; and 4, freeze-drying the eluate to obtain oligopeptide-1. The method has the advantages of simplicity, low cost and high yield. The prepared oligopeptide-1 can be used in drugs, healthcare foods and cosmetics as an active component or additive.
