Also known as: Lysine-Proline-Valine, α-MSH 11-13

Recovery & HealingEmerging evidenceResearch peptide — not FDA-approvedHow we rate evidence
Sequence · 3 residues

Summary

A short tripeptide fragment of alpha-MSH studied for anti-inflammatory and gut-healing properties.

How it works

Thought to act intracellularly to down-regulate pro-inflammatory signalling (NF-κB), reducing inflammatory cytokine activity in preclinical gut and skin models.

What it’s studied for

  • Studied for gut inflammation research
  • Investigated for skin and wound applications
  • Reported anti-microbial properties

Research-reported protocol

Research discussion commonly references 200–500 mcg daily, oral or subcutaneous, over short cycles.

Route: Oral or subcutaneous. These are amounts described in the research literature — not an instruction to administer anything.

Evidence & sources

Scientific review pending

Written by Titria Research Team.

A credentialed reviewer (PhD/PharmD) and a primary-literature citation list are still being added — we show this state honestly rather than implying a review that hasn’t happened. It means the sign-off is pending, not that the entry is unsupported. See how we rate evidence.
