KPV + GHK-Cu BLEND

A two-peptide blend pairing KPV (a strong anti-inflammatory, especially for gut/skin) with GHK-Cu (the copper repair peptide). Together they target inflammation and tissue repair, useful for gut issues, skin healing, and inflamed connective tissue.

Overview

A two-peptide blend pairing KPV (a strong anti-inflammatory, especially for gut/skin) with GHK-Cu (the copper repair peptide).

Together they target inflammation and tissue repair, useful for gut issues, skin healing, and inflamed connective tissue.

What It Does

KPV (the C-terminal tripeptide of α-MSH) is a potent anti-inflammatory that calms NF-κB signaling, notable for gut (IBD-type) and skin inflammation.

GHK-Cu drives copper-dependent tissue repair, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis.

The blend combines “calm the inflammation” with “rebuild the tissue.” This vial is KPV 10 mg + GHK-Cu 50 mg (60 mg total).

Reconstitution Calculator

Enter the vial amount and diluent volume to calculate concentration. If you already have a target amount, you can also convert it to liquid volume and syringe markings. This tool does not recommend a target amount.

Calculated concentration—Enter both values above.
Optional conversion

Enter a target amount you already have and select the syringe capacity.

Calculated draw—Enter concentration inputs and a target amount.

Mathematical reference only. The calculator does not determine an appropriate target amount. Syringe capacity only changes the maximum volume that fits.

Protocol

PhaseFrequencyAmountNotes
Weeks 1–2Daily1 mgSubQ. Delivers ~167 mcg KPV + ~833 mcg GHK-Cu. Assess tolerance.
Weeks 3–6Daily2 mgWorking dose (~333 mcg KPV + ~1.7 mg GHK-Cu).
Off2–4 weeks–Standard washout; re-cycle if needed.
Cycle & Timing

4–6 weeks on / 2–4 weeks off.

Timing

daily, anytime; SubQ near the area of need for local effect, or abdomen for systemic. Note: both components are injectable here (KPV is given SubQ, not oral); the blend targets gut/skin inflammation plus repair.

Population Considerations

Unisex (anti-inflammatory + copper repair), same protocol for men and women, no cycle effect. Avoid in pregnancy.

Handling & Stacking

Injection site
SubQ; near the target area or abdomen. Rotate.
Storage
  • Freeze-dried: -4°F.
  • Reconstituted: 36–46°F, protect from light.
  • Best used within about 2–4 weeks, kept cold and dark (structure-based estimate, no published data); copper oxidizes with no visible colour change, so use it sooner rather than later.
Side effects
Usually minimal, injection-site reaction; possible faint blue tint from the copper. KPV is generally very well tolerated.
What to expect
  • Reduced inflammation (gut/skin) plus tissue-repair support over 4–6 weeks.
  • Good for inflamed, healing tissue where both actions help.
  • Supply math 60mg → 5 vials (6-wk @ 2 mg blend × 7/wk)
Pairs well with
BPC-157 / TB-500 / Wolverine Blend (repair); LL-37 (antimicrobial, gut); Glutathione (anti-inflammatory)
Avoid
Active malignancy (GHK-Cu growth/angiogenesis, theoretical). High-dose vitamin C same session (disrupts copper complex). Pregnancy

Safety & Patient Education

Contraindications
  • Active or suspected malignancy.
  • Copper is an angiogenesis cofactor, so GHK-Cu carries the same theoretical concern, though this blend has no BPC- 157 or TB-500 and KPV carries no growth signal.
  • Stop for any new lump.
  • Wilson’s disease / copper overload (GHK-Cu component) Pregnancy and lactation Hypersensitivity to either component
Warnings
Two-peptide blend, both components’ cautions apply Copper component: avoid copper excess; separate from high-dose vitamin C / direct acids Tissue-repair pathways overlap with tumor growth, any new mass needs evaluation Quality varies, request a COA
Drug interactions
High-dose vitamin C / ascorbic acid / strong reducers: disrupt the copper complex Copper-chelating agents: reduce GHK-Cu activity No major systemic drug interactions otherwise
Labs
  • hsCRP (inflammation) baseline + end if treating inflammation Serum copper/ceruloplasmin if used long-term or high-dose Out of range?
  • Rising serum copper / ceruloplasmin = copper is accumulating → pause and re-dose lower.
Stop criteria
New mass or unexpected tissue growth Persistent injection-site reaction Signs of copper excess (nausea, fatigue, neurological symptoms)
Patient education
Combines anti-inflammatory (KPV) with repair (GHK-Cu), good for inflamed, healing tissue Both are injectable here; KPV is dosed SubQ Keep away from high-dose vitamin C in the same session Avoid with active cancer or copper-overload conditions; report new lumps
