KPV peptide calculator
Pre-filled KPV dosage and reconstitution math: a 5 mg vial, 2 ml of bacteriostatic water, and the resulting U-100 insulin-syringe units. Adjust the inputs below or open the full calculator.
How to reconstitute KPV
- Wipe both vial stoppers with a fresh alcohol swab and let them dry.
- Draw 2 ml of bacteriostatic water into a syringe.
- Insert the needle at an angle into the KPV vial and let the water run slowly down the inner wall — do not inject directly onto the powder.
- Do not shake. Gently swirl the vial until the peptide fully dissolves.
- Store the reconstituted vial refrigerated (2–8 °C / 36–46 °F) and use within roughly 28 days.
- Draw each dose to the unit mark shown above for your target 500 mcg dose.
About KPV
KPV is the C-terminal tripeptide (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research focuses on its anti-inflammatory properties in gastrointestinal, skin, and systemic inflammation models.
Half-life: Approximately 1–2 hours
Typical dose range: 500–1000 mcg daily (subcutaneous); oral protocols also used
Class: Anti-inflammatory tripeptide (α-MSH 11-13)
KPV calculator FAQ
Is this a KPV peptide calculator or a reconstitution calculator?
Both. This KPV calculator converts vial strength, bacteriostatic-water volume, and target dose into milliliters and insulin-syringe units. It does not recommend a medical dose.
How much bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg KPV vial?
This page is pre-filled with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg KPV vial because that is a common research ratio. You can adjust the water amount in the full calculator.
How many units is a 500 mcg KPV dose?
With the default 5 mg vial and 2 ml BAC-water ratio, the preview above calculates the U-100 syringe units for a 500 mcg dose. Change the dose if your protocol uses a different amount.
Does this KPV dosage calculator give medical advice?
No. It only performs unit math. Dosing, titration, and whether KPV is appropriate are clinical decisions that should be made with a licensed healthcare professional.
