KPV
Mechanism
Tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from the C-terminus of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Inhibits NF-kB pathway and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling. Active orally with intact absorption (unlike most peptides). Strong evidence in IBD/colitis models.
Typical dose
200-500mcg per dose, 1-2 times daily
Cycle length
4-12 weeks per condition
Form
Oral capsules, injectable (subcutaneous)
