How this works

  • Prescribed for youA US-licensed provider reviews your history before anything is filled, and decides whether it's right for you.
  • Filled for your prescriptionMade by a 503A facility for your prescription. Shipped to you.
  • LegitScript certifiedIndependently checked for safe, legal telehealth practice. See our certification
  • Not approved? You pay nothingIf the provider doesn't approve it, it's refunded in full automatically.

What “not FDA-approved” means: compounded medicines are made by a licensed pharmacy and filled for an individual prescription. The FDA doesn't review compounded medicines for safety, effectiveness or quality before they're dispensed, the way it reviews approved drugs. Your provider decides whether one is right for you.

Is this right for you?

It may fit if:

  • You want a licensed provider to review your history before anything is prescribed
  • You want one ingredient, made for your prescription. Made by a 503A facility for your prescription.
  • You want to know who made it and how to report a problem
  • You'd rather not buy something labeled “not for human use”
  • You'd prefer capsules to injections

A licensed provider decides whether it's right for you, after reviewing your intake.

Research

What the research says (and doesn't)

What researchers have studied, and what they have not shown. None of this is a claim about what this peptide does for you; your provider talks with you about what is and isn't known.

Studied

  1. Animal study

    A 1989 mouse study tested the C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH (Lys-Pro-Val) on chemically induced ear swelling.

    Source: Hiltz & Lipton, FASEB Journal 1989

  2. Animal study

    A 2008 study examined how KPV is absorbed by intestinal cells and tested KPV in drinking water in two mouse colitis models.

    “Anti-inflammatory effect of KPV was also investigated in DSS- and TNBS-induced colitis in mice.”

  3. Cell study

    A 2012 study measured inflammation markers in human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to KPV: cells in a dish, not people.

    “KPV and γMSH evoked a dose-dependent inhibition of NFκB, matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity, IL8 and eotaxin secretion.”

  4. Animal study

    A 2017 study gave KPV by mouth in a nanoparticle-hydrogel formulation (not a standard capsule) in a mouse ulcerative colitis model.

    “Oral administration of HA-KPV-NPs encapsulated in a hydrogel (chitosan/alginate)”

  5. FDA review

    FDA found no human exposure data for KPV by any route, no pharmacokinetic studies and no nonclinical toxicity studies, and noted that KPV's molecular targets are unknown.

    “FDA has not identified any human exposure data on drug products containing KPV administered via any route of administration.”

Not shown

  • No human study of KPV was found by any route, in the literature or on ClinicalTrials.gov.
  • All of the evidence is from cell lines and mice. The most-cited oral mouse work used drinking water or a nanoparticle-hydrogel, not a capsule.
  • With no pharmacokinetic data, whether oral KPV is absorbed or reaches the gut wall in people is unknown. FDA said potential safety risks in humans are unknown.
  • FDA's evaluation focused on cream and gel products for wound and inflammatory conditions; oral capsules were not the formulation it assessed.

KPV is not FDA-approved. In briefing documents for its July 23–24, 2026 Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee meeting, FDA proposed not adding KPV to the 503A bulks list; the committee's votes and any final FDA decision were not found. HHS's interim policy describes the conditions under which HHS does not intend to act against a 503A pharmacy that compounds it for a patient's own prescription.

What you should know

What it is

KPV is a 3-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Pro-Val). It is one of the six peptides in an interim HHS policy for compounding pharmacies. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications. Nothing is made or shipped until a licensed provider approves it for you. If a provider says it's not right for you, you pay nothing.

Who it's for

You want a peptide prescribed by a licensed provider, not a research-use vial. You want one ingredient, made for your prescription. You want a person to ask between visits.

Can I get KPV with a prescription?

Yes, by prescription. KPV is one of the six peptides in HHS's interim policy (October 2026). A licensed provider decides whether it's right for you; if it is, it's made for your prescription by a 503A facility and shipped to you. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications.

Do I need a membership for KPV?

No. You can order KPV on its own: a short intake, a licensed provider's approval, and your prescription made and shipped. A membership adds four lab panels and four provider visits a year and a wellness consultant between visits.

How it's made

Made by a 503A facility for your prescription. One ingredient per product. Never blended. It is labeled with your name and your prescription.

What comes in the box

Your KPV Oral Capsules, labeled with your name and prescription, and the pharmacy insert.

Who sets the dose?

Your provider sets the dose.

Is it FDA-approved?

No. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and are not the same as brand-name medications. The HHS policy that covers it is not FDA approval, and HHS can revisit it.

Side effects and reporting

Tell your care team about anything you notice. Anyone can also report a side effect to the FDA through MedWatch.
