KPV Capsules
Alpha-MSH derived tripeptide (lysine-proline-valine) proposed to suppress the NF-kB inflammatory pathway.
What It Is
KPV is the three-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. This is KPV alone in an oral capsule at 500mcg, for patients and providers who want KPV without the BPC-157 or TB-500 that come with the combination products.
How It Works
In laboratory and animal work KPV dampens NF-kB signalling, a transcription factor near the top of the inflammatory cascade. The strongest preclinical data is in mouse models of gut inflammation. No controlled human trial has been published.
Who It's For
Patients whose provider wants KPV on its own, for example someone who does not want BPC-157 or TB-500, or who prefers a capsule to an injection.
Who Should Avoid It
Flag for autoimmune conditions, given KPV's immune-modulating action. Discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding and current medications with your provider. Evidence is preclinical; there is no human dose or safety dataset.

Alpha-MSH tripeptide
Read the KPV Capsules protocol guide
Three amino acids from the tail of alpha-MSH, carrying part of that hormone's anti-inflammatory activity without its pigment action. The preclinical case is real and gut-focused; the human evidence is nonexistent. Covers the standalone KPV capsule, the three combinations, and why a fixed-ratio vial means KPV cannot be titrated on its own.

Common questions about KPV Capsules
- What is KPV?
- KPV (lysine-proline-valine) is a tripeptide derived from the C-terminus of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). In laboratory and animal work it downregulates NF-kB signaling and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-6). It is studied mainly for gut inflammation. No controlled human trial has been published, and it is not an FDA-approved drug.
- Can I order KPV on its own?
- Yes. KPV Capsules contain KPV alone at 500mcg per capsule, with no BPC-157 or TB-500. KPV is also an ingredient in the BPC-157/KPV capsules, the BPC-157/TB-500/KPV injectable vial, and KLOW. Only one KPV-containing product can be in an order, so choose the standalone capsule or a combination, not both.
- How is KPV taken?
- The listed protocol is 1 capsule (500mcg) by mouth once daily, typically on an empty stomach. There is no clinically validated human dose for KPV, so your prescription label and your provider's directions control your dose.
- How much do KPV Capsules cost?
- Optimal Balance Pharmacy charges $2.25 per capsule, so a 30-capsule fill is $67.50. Rx Peps Direct adds a flat $39 medical visit fee, and the pharmacy charges $15 for FedEx overnight shipping per order.
- How are KPV Capsules supplied?
- Compounded by Optimal Balance Pharmacy, a 503A pharmacy, under a patient-specific prescription. Capsules are stored at room temperature and carry a 180-day beyond-use date from compounding.
