KPV — 10 mg

KPV is a tripeptide fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is studied for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, with applications in gut health, skin balance, and immune modulation.

Benefits

• Anti-inflammatory — studied for reducing inflammation in gut and skin models.
• Gut health — explored for calming intestinal inflammation in IBD-related research.
• Skin balance — interest in reducing redness, irritation, and inflammatory markers.
• Immune support — linked to modulation of cytokines and immune pathways.
• Antimicrobial activity — reported to inhibit bacterial growth in lab models.

What researchers look at

• Inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6.
• Activation of melanocortin receptor-related anti-inflammatory pathways.
• Protective effects in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) animal models.
• Antimicrobial effects against bacterial and fungal strains in vitro.
