KPV is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of lysine, proline, and valine, derived from the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. KPV exerts its effects by entering cells and interacting directly with inflammatory signaling molecules. It inhibits pathways such as NF-κB and MAP kinase, leading to a reduction in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like interleukins 1 and 6. This action helps modulate the immune response and decrease inflammation.

Science-Backed Research

• • Reduces inflammation associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

• • Accelerates the healing of wounds and reduce scarring by modulating collagen deposition.

• • Exhibits activity against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, potentially preventing infections at wound sites.

• • Reduces skin inflammation, prevents bacterial growth, and promotes a balanced skin microbiome.

• • Supports cellular repair, potentially offering benefits for conditions associated with oxidative damage, such as joint degeneration or muscle injuries.

• • By controlling inflammatory cytokine production, KPV can help alleviate discomfort and support faster recovery in soft tissues and muscle.
