Medical disclaimer
Description and reported dosing

What is KPV?

A tripeptide of lysine, proline and valine — the C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It keeps the parent molecule's anti-inflammatory action without its hormonal activity.

The mechanism described in publications is suppression of the NF-kB pathway, the signalling system that switches on inflammatory genes.

No regulator has approved it, and no established dose exists.

Medical Reality Check

Tissue repair needs a caloric surplus. A calorie deficit slows it down.
