KLOW (Four-Peptide Blend)
A four-peptide research blend — GHK-Cu, TB-500, BPC-157 and KPV — combining collagen, cell-migration, repair and anti-inflammatory research in one vial.
At a glance
KLOW is a four-peptide research blend: GHK-Cu (50 mg) with TB-500, BPC-157 and KPV at 10 mg each — 80 mg in total. It is GLOW plus KPV, a three-amino-acid peptide (Lys-Pro-Val) from the hormone α-MSH that reduced inflammation in colitis models. No study of the blend itself has been published; the evidence belongs to the components.

How it works
KLOW combines four peptides with different mechanisms. GHK-Cu — the largest share of the vial — stimulated collagen synthesis in fibroblasts and is linked to repair genes in gene-data work. 2,1 BPC-157 is studied for repair signaling in wound and tendon models, 3,4 and TB-500 (thymosin beta-4) controls actin, which cells use to move. 5
The fourth component, KPV, is the three-amino-acid tail of the hormone α-MSH (Lys-Pro-Val). It is carried into gut and immune cells by the PepT1 transporter, and given orally it reduced colitis in mice. 6 In a second study it rescued mice from death in a colitis model, partly independent of the MC1R receptor. 7 Reviews discuss it with α-MSH as an anti-inflammatory peptide. 8
No study of the combined blend has been published, so each component’s evidence should be read on its own terms.
