What is KPV peptide used for?

KPV is a small peptide, three amino acids long, that calms inflammation. It is a piece of alpha-MSH, a natural hormone. It has mostly been studied in cells in a lab and in animals, for gut inflammation and skin problems. This site's review found no published study in people. In April 2026 the FDA took it off its Category 2 compounding list. In July 2026 an advisory panel voted 8 to 6 to recommend it for compounding, against the FDA reviewers' own view.
