KPV
alpha-MSH-derived tripeptide studied for anti-inflammatory activity in gut and skin research.
KPV is the compound researchers reach for when the topic is inflammation — especially in the gut and skin. It is a tiny three-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) taken from the tail end of the natural hormone alpha-MSH, and it keeps that hormone's anti-inflammatory character without its pigment-changing effects. Studies have examined it in models of gut inflammation (searched around IBD research) and skin and tissue repair.
Its small size and targeted anti-inflammatory profile make it a frequently studied companion to repair peptides like BPC-157.
