  • Calms inflammatory signaling at the source
  • Calmer gut, fewer flare days
  • KPV, prescribed by a licensed clinician after assessment

What is KPV?

A three-amino-acid peptide based on a fragment of alpha-MSH, a hormone your body naturally produces. It has been studied for its effects on inflammation, including in the gut, in cell and animal research. Safety and benefits in humans have not been established.

How is this different from buying peptides online?

Many peptides sold online are labelled “research use only”. KPV is only prescribed after an assessment with a Superpower clinician, before it’s prepared by a licensed pharmacy.

How do I take it?

One capsule a day. If prescribed, you will be provided clear instructions for starting, and your clinician is there for any questions along the way.

Clinician guided care

A clinician at every step, not just the first one.

Your Superpower clinician looks at your whole picture: your history, your goals, current medications and what you've already tried.
Prescribed only if it’s right for you
Every prescription is a clinical decision, made after a licensed clinician reviews your history, medicines and goals. If a peptide isn’t right for you, they’ll say so and tell you why.
Your plan comes with a plain-language read on what research shows, what users report and what’s still unproven. Questions go straight to your clinician.
Each month you complete a short check-in, and your clinician reviews it before your next refill ships. If you’re improving, you continue. If progress stalls or something new comes up, they adjust or stop. Your dose never changes without them.

Frequently asked questions

A three-amino-acid peptide from the tail of alpha-MSH, a hormone your body uses to calm inflammation. It is studied for gut and skin inflammation. As a daily capsule, it works locally in the gut.

Not for anyone under 18 or anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive. Treatment is deferred during active infection. Severe inflammatory bowel disease or an acute complication needs standard care first. Active or recent cancer requires clinician review and generally excludes treatment. KPV is banned in drug-tested sport.

KPV is a daily capsule. If it’s prescribed, your clinician will confirm your dose and schedule.

No. KPV targets inflammatory signaling, not histamine. If histamine or mast-cell symptoms are your main concern, your clinician will point you to a better fit.

No. KPV works alongside your treatment, not instead of it. Keep established treatment unless the clinician managing it changes the plan. Severe bowel symptoms, fever, bleeding or an acute flare need prompt medical care.

You choose a measure before day one, like flare days per week. If it hasn’t moved by your review, the course ends and you choose a new direction with your clinician.

Human side-effect rates are not established. Repeated peptide exposure can provoke immune reactions, and routine labs cannot rule out every risk. Report rash, itching, skin changes or any new symptom promptly. Seek urgent care for breathing trouble, facial or tongue swelling, chest pain or fainting.
