How many units of KPV should I draw?

It depends on your vial size, BAC water, and dose. For a 5mg vial with 2mL BAC water, a beginner dose of 200mcg is typically 8 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above for your exact numbers.

How much BAC water should I add to KPV?

The standard amount is 2mL of bacteriostatic water for a 5mg vial. More water gives a more dilute solution — easier to measure small doses. Less water means fewer injections per vial. Adjust the BAC water slider in the calculator to see how it changes your syringe units.

How long does a KPV vial last?

At a beginner dose of 200mcg daily, a 5mg vial lasts about 25 doses. The calculator shows exact doses per vial for your selected tier.

What syringe should I use for KPV?

Most people use a U-100 insulin syringe (1mL / 100 units). For very small doses, a U-50 or U-30 syringe gives better precision. The calculator adjusts units automatically for whichever syringe you pick.

KPV Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics — Active Dose Over Time

t½ = ~30 min plasma (functional anti-inflammatory activity persists 4-6 hours)

After 1 half-life (5h): 50% remainsAfter 2 half-lives (10h): 25% remainsAfter 3 half-lives (15h): 12.5% remains

At a 500mcg dose: 50% = 250mcg remaining after 5h. Recommended frequency: Daily.

Disclaimer: This curve is a simplified first-order exponential decay model. Actual pharmacokinetics vary based on injection site, individual metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Half-life values are approximate and based on available preclinical and clinical literature. Many research peptides lack formal human pharmacokinetic studies.

Note: Anti-inflammatory tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) derived from α-MSH. Powerfully reduces gut inflammation. Can also be taken orally in capsules for direct gut effect. Commonly cycled 4-8 weeks.

About KPV

KPV is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory tripeptide (Lysine-Proline-Valine) derived from the C-terminal end of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It powerfully reduces inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and inflammatory cytokines. It's particularly effective for gut inflammation — IBS, colitis, and leaky gut — and can be taken both by injection and orally (oral capsules deliver directly to the gut lining).
