KPV
KPV
Also known as: KPV Tripeptide, Alpha-MSH Fragment 11-13
Overview
Key Facts
Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of KPV
Inhibits NF-kB nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1-beta).
Dosing Information
~30 minutes
200–500 mcg
1-2x daily
4-12 weeks
Benefits
- Potent anti-inflammatory without broad immunosuppression
- Reduces intestinal mucosal inflammation
- Direct antimicrobial activity against bacteria and Candida
- Modulates innate immune response in gut epithelium
- Crosses the blood-brain barrier for neuroinflammation reduction
- Supports immune homeostasis in chronic inflammatory conditions
Side Effects
Mechanism of Action
Inhibits NF-kB nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity
Reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1-beta)
Enters colonic epithelial cells to directly suppress inflammasome activation
Modulates MAPK signaling pathways in immune cells
Exhibits direct membrane-disrupting antimicrobial activity
Contraindications
Do not use this peptide if any of the following apply:

- Autoimmune conditions (consult physician)
Storage & Reconstitution
Unreconstituted (Powder)
Reconstituted (Mixed)
Research Summary
Studied in preclinical models of inflammatory bowel disease, colitis, and skin inflammation. Demonstrated efficacy comparable to standard anti-inflammatory treatments in murine IBD models. Strong in vitro evidence for NF-kB inhibition. Cross-reference: see kpv in healing-recovery for tissue repair context.
