KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a naturally occurring fragment of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) with dual anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. In research settings, KPV:

• Modulates inflammatory signaling: Enters cells and down-regulates NF-κB and MAP kinase cascades, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (p. ej., IL-1, IL-6).

• Supports mucosal & dermal repair: Investigated for IBD contexts (Crohn/colitis), wound environments, and soft-tissue recovery via balanced collagen deposition.

• Antimicrobial surface defense: Exhibits activity against pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus y Candida albicans, ayudando a proteger el lecho de la herida.

• Skin barrier & microbiome: Helps calm redness, limit bacterial overgrowth, and encourage a healthier cutaneous ecosystem.

• Oxidative-stress resilience: Supports cellular repair in tissues subject to oxidative damage (p. ej., articulaciones, músculo) and may ease discomfort associated with soft-tissue strain.

Results vary by protocol design, baseline status, and endpoints. Research-grade use only. 

• Reconstitution: Reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (add slowly; swirl gently do not shake).

• Specifications: Lyophilized powder. Purity (>98%) meets or exceeds U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) regulations.
