KPV 250mcg Capsules (60 count)

KPV (Lysine-Proline-Valine) is a tripeptide derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) studied for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and healing-promoting properties.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties of KPV

A 2003 study found that systemic KPV treatment significantly reduced neutrophil accumulation in models of peritonitis. The peptide worked independently of melanocortin receptors, suggesting a novel anti-inflammatory mechanism.

In human bronchial epithelial cells, KPV inhibited NFκB signaling by stabilizing IκBα, a known suppressor of inflammation — pointing to potential applications in conditions like asthma.

KPV and Antimicrobial Activity

KPV has demonstrated strong antimicrobial action against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, possibly by disrupting microbial membranes. It also shows antifungal effects against Candida species and may interfere with biofilm formation, suggesting potential use in persistent infections.

Skin and Wound Healing

Animal studies reveal that KPV may enhance wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting fibroblast and keratinocyte activity. It supports epithelial repair, collagen production, and reduced scarring, particularly in laser-treated skin.

Gut Health and Barrier Function

KPV has been studied in colitis models for its ability to reduce histologic damage and inflammatory cytokine expression. It shows potential as an oral research compound for gut healing and inflammatory bowel conditions.

Colitis-Associated Cancer

Research suggests KPV may help suppress inflammatory pathways that contribute to colitis-related cancer development by creating a more stable cellular environment in the gut.
