KPV for gut inflammation — anyone using this long-term?
27 posts
Running KPV for mild IBS symptoms. Oral, 500mcg/day. ~6 weeks in. Symptoms improved but I can't tell if it's the peptide or the accompanying dietary tightening I did.
Short-term safety seems fine. Long-term use in healthy-ish people — anyone got more than 3 months in?

I've run KPV in ~6-week blocks for specific flare-ups, not continuously. The anti-inflammatory effect seems to hold but I haven't pushed to 3+ months.
- CJC-1295 no DAC · 100 mcg · pre-bed · sub-Q
- Ipamorelin · 200 mcg · pre-bed · sub-Q
- BPC-157 · 500 mcg · 2x/day · sub-Q

For IBS specifically, BPC-157 oral has more circumstantial evidence. KPV is broader anti-inflammatory, might be overkill for symptom management.
- Epithalon · 10 mg · 10d on / 80d off · sub-Q
- MOTS-c · 5 mg · 2x/wk · sub-Q
- 5-Amino-1MQ · 150 mg · daily · oral

Good flag. I'm 2 years clear of a GI workup so IBD is ruled. Will treat the KPV as an adjunct and not a diagnosis.

KPV human data is basically topical skin and one small oral IBD trial. 'Mild IBS + diet change + KPV' is impossible to attribute. Could all be the diet.
