KPV 250mcg
Oral KPV — gut inflammation & systemic immune support
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), one of the body's most potent endogenous anti-inflammatory signals. This tiny tripeptide punches far above its weight — it can penetrate cell membranes and directly enter the nucleus to block NF-κB, the master switch of inflammation. It is particularly effective for gut inflammation and skin conditions.

How It Works — Mechanism of Action
The precise biology behind this peptide's effects
KPV binds to melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1-R) on immune cells, blocking the NF-κB signalling pathway. This prevents transcription of pro-inflammatory genes including COX-2, iNOS, and numerous cytokines. Its small size (3 amino acids) allows it to directly penetrate enterocytes and immune cells, acting inside the nucleus — a mechanism unique among peptides.
Oral capsules: Most effective route for gut conditions — taken on empty stomach. Injectable subcutaneous: For systemic inflammation. Topical cream: For skin conditions.
Dosage Protocol
GHH physician-guided dosing guidelines
Oral (gut): 250–500 mcg, 1–2× daily on empty stomach. Injectable: 250–500 mcg subcutaneous, 1–2× daily. Topical: Apply to affected skin 1–3× daily.
When to Expect Results
A realistic timeline from first dose to full effect
Acute gut flares: noticeable reduction within 48–72 hours. Chronic inflammation: significant improvement 2–4 weeks. Skin conditions: 3–6 weeks of consistent use.
Side Effects
What to watch for and how common they are
Exceptionally safe with no known serious adverse effects. Rare: mild GI discomfort (transient). No systemic immunosuppression.
Contraindications
Who should not use this peptide
Pregnancy (insufficient data). Known alpha-MSH hypersensitivity. Caution with immunosuppressive drugs (additive effect).
