Thinking about adding KPV to my GLOW stack for systemic inflammation?

Posted by katie_reads in Protocols & Stacks - 36 points, 2 comments.

I have been running the /peptides/glow-stack for about six weeks now and ngl it has been helping my skin look way better but I am still feeling some weird systemic inflammation in my joints after my heavy lifting sessions. I am looking at the /peptides/klow-stack because it adds KPV to the GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and TB-500 mix and I was wondering if anyone has actually tried making that switch or just adding KPV separately?

I read that KPV helps with the NF-kB pathway to reduce inflammation but I am a bit skeptical about how it might interact with the GHK-Cu and the other stuff since the half-lives are all over the place. For me, the GLOW stack seems to be working great for collagen and stuff, but the joint stiffness is still there and it is kinda annoying. Does anyone know if adding KPV makes the injection site irritation worse? I already get some redness from the GHK-Cu. Also, if you are running KPV, are you doing it daily like the BPC-157 or just a few times a week? I want to make sure I am not overdoing it.

  • riley_p: I have not tried KPV in that specific combination, but I am curious if you have found any human studies that show it works better than BPC-157 alone for joint stiffness. For me, GHK-Cu always caused quite a bit of redness and stinging at the site. I found that using more bacteriostatic water to dilute it helped a bit, though it was still irritating. I would be cautious about adding another compound if your skin is already reacting. Regarding the frequency, most research ranges I have seen for
  • lena_gains: I have not seen any direct human studies comparing KPV to BPC-157 for joint stiffness, so I am also unsure about that, imo. For me, BPC-157 seemed more effective for my specific joint ache, but KPV might offer a different approach to the inflammation. It is worth checking with a doctor to see if that combination is suitable for your situation.
