KPV Dosing Protocol: Anti-Inflammatory Guide
Also known as: Lys-Pro-Val, Alpha-MSH fragment
What is a Peptide?
A short chain of amino acids (2-50) linked by peptide bonds. Smaller than proteins. Your body produces thousands of peptides naturally as signaling molecules that regulate everything from appetite to healing. Therapeutic peptides mimic or enhance these natural signals.

Overview
KPV is a tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH that has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It is being researched for inflammatory bowel disease, skin conditions, and immune modulation.
Mechanisms of Action
- Potent anti-inflammatory via MC3R agonism
- Inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines in immune cells
- Reduces intestinal inflammation
- Taken up by PepT1 transporter in gut
