KPV Dosage Chart & Schedule Guide.
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is an anti-inflammatory tripeptide derived from alpha-MSH that inhibits NF-κB signaling. It is used for gut inflammation, IBD support, and systemic anti-inflammatory effects via subcutaneous injection or oral capsules.

Timing
Inject subcutaneously in the morning on an empty stomach. For twice-daily advanced protocols, space doses 12 hours apart (morning and evening). Oral capsules should also be taken on an empty stomach.
Cycling
Run 4–8 week cycles with 2–4 week breaks. For chronic gut conditions, extend to 8–12 weeks. KPV has lower desensitization risk than many peptides, but cycling is still recommended.
Stacking
The KPV + BPC-157 combination is the most popular gut-healing stack. KPV suppresses inflammation (NF-κB inhibition) while BPC-157 repairs mucosal tissue. Dose BPC-157 at 250–500 mcg alongside KPV.
Storage
Store lyophilized vials at -20 °C for long-term stability. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 3–4 weeks. A 5 mg vial at 200 mcg/day lasts ~25 days.
