KPV (10mg) Dosage Protocol

KPV is a tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research indicates it possesses anti-inflammatory properties without the pigmentation effects of the parent hormone.

Quickstart Highlights
Reconstitute

Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 5 mg/mL (5000 mcg/mL)

Daily Range

200-500 mcg daily for research protocols

Easy Measuring

At 5 mg/mL: 4 units = 200 mcg, 10 units = 500 mcg

Storage

Lyophilized: -20°C; Reconstituted: 2-8°C for up to 4 weeks

Reconstitution Steps
  1. 1Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe
  2. 2Inject slowly down the vial wall to prevent foaming
  3. 3Gently swirl until fully dissolved - do not shake
  4. 4Label with date and concentration, refrigerate immediately
How This Works

KPV retains the anti-inflammatory properties of α-MSH through NF-κB pathway modulation without activating melanocortin receptors responsible for pigmentation. Research shows it inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines and may support gut health and wound healing.

Potential Benefits & Effects
Observations from preclinical and clinical literature
  • Anti-inflammatory without tanning effects
  • May support gut health
  • Research suggests wound healing support
  • Modulates inflammatory pathways
