About KPV
KPV is an anti-inflammatory tripeptide derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It retains the potent anti-inflammatory properties of alpha-MSH without melanogenic (tanning) effects. Research demonstrates its ability to inhibit NF-kB and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines in skin, gut, and mucosal tissues.
