KPV reconstitution calculator.
KPV is a tripeptide fragment sold in 5 mg and 10 mg vials, with targets in the low hundreds of micrograms. Being a very short peptide, it dissolves readily, and the arithmetic is the ordinary kind.
Reference range often cited for KPV: 200–500 mcg, shown for orientation only, not a recommendation. Enter your own target below. Read the evidence →
Each unit on a 100u · 1.0 mL syringe ≈ 25 mcg of this solution.

More water → lower concentration → more units for the same amount.
What changes the math for KPV.
- 5 mg in 2 mL is 2,500 mcg/mL, so 200 mcg is 8 units and 500 mcg is 20 units.
- KPV is also prepared for topical and oral use, where a percent by weight per volume figure matters more than syringe units. The same division gives both.
- It is often paired with BPC-157, which comes in the same vial sizes. Same sizes still means separate vials and separate concentrations.

KPV: research formats
Choose the format you are researching to see route-specific notes.
Small tripeptide; highly soluble in BAC water. Very small injection volumes.
KPV (Lys-Pro-Val) is a tripeptide sold as a 1–5 mg vial. It is highly water-soluble and reconstitutes easily in BAC water. Because studied doses are typically in the microgram range, concentrations are usually kept low to allow accurate measurement with small syringes.
FAQ.
How many units is 250 mcg of KPV?
On 5 mg in 2 mL (2,500 mcg/mL) it is 10 units. On 5 mg in 5 mL (1,000 mcg/mL) it is 25 units, the same amount in more liquid.
Can KPV be prepared topically?
It is used that way. The relevant figure becomes percent by weight per volume rather than units, so 50 mg in 5 mL is 1%. The division is identical, only the label on the answer changes.
Is KPV the same as BPC-157?
No. KPV is a three amino acid fragment of alpha-MSH; BPC-157 is a fifteen amino acid sequence from a gastric protein. They are frequently discussed together but are unrelated molecules.
