THE INFLAMMATION ERASER
KPV
Anti-inflammatory tripeptide for gut healing and skin
Also known as: Lysine-Proline-Valine
Overview
KPV is a three-amino-acid peptide derived from alpha-MSH that reduces inflammation without the skin-darkening effects of other melanocortin peptides. It's particularly effective for gut inflammation (IBD, colitis), wound healing, and inflammatory skin conditions. It works by calming overactive immune responses.
