Gut Research (Capsules)

This specialized capsule formulation combines three research peptides and compounds designed for gastrointestinal tract research applications. BPC-157 is a pentadecapeptide originally isolated from human gastric juice, known for its pleiotropic cytoprotective effects in preclinical models [1]. KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is the C-terminal tripeptide fragment of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, characterized for its anti-inflammatory signaling properties [2]. PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) is an endogenous lipid mediator studied for immune and inflammatory modulation. Together, these compounds are designed for research examining intestinal barrier function, mucosal protection, and inflammatory response mechanisms in controlled laboratory settings.
