KPV
Lysine-Proline-Valine (α-MSH C-terminal tripeptide)
The smallest active C-terminal fragment (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied for anti-inflammatory activity that research indicates is independent of the melanocortin-receptor pigmentation pathway — meaning it is studied without the tanning/pigmentation effects associated with full-length melanocortin agonists like Melanotan II. It is also one of the four components in this catalogue's KLOW80-style blend formulations (see the KLOW listing).
