How It Works

KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It retains the anti-inflammatory properties of the parent molecule without its melanogenic effects. It appears to work by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway activation, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

Research Highlights
