KPV, Lysine-Proline-Valine · What it helps
The gut and bowel
In an inflamed gut, PepT1 rises on the lining cells and KPV rides it in. Inside, it shuts down NF-kB and cuts inflammatory signals. The lining calms and heals. People with colitis-type symptoms, bloating and an irritated bowel are the main fit.
