KPV
Also known as: Lysine-Proline-Valine (alpha-MSH 11-13)
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), corresponding to residues 11-13. It is the smallest alpha-MSH fragment shown to retain anti-inflammatory activity. Research-only; not FDA-approved; evidence is primarily preclinical.

Prices observed from public storefronts (last 24h), normalized to $/mg. "Evidence" is Merit's 0–100 Merit Score, derived only from observable verification evidence (methodology on /about); "Purity" is the latest independent COA. Some buy links are affiliate links — Merit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and where a vendor offers one, the code shown gets you a discount at their checkout. Affiliate status never affects price data, ranking, or the Merit Score (full policy on /disclosure). Research use only.
