Side effects, contraindications and regulatory status

Reported side effects

  • FDA safety-risk page (current as of 2026-04-22): FDA has not identified any human exposure data on drug products containing KPV and lacks important information on safety, including whether it would cause harm in humans.[1] Regulator or expert-panel statement
  • In HepG2 cells (in vitro, not human), KPV at 100 ug/mL did not induce cytotoxicity (Cytotechnology 2026); an in vitro finding, not a human safety result.[3] Animal study
  • Critical review (J Sports Med Phys Fitness 2026) naming KPV among peptide fragments: clinical evidence for peptide use in sport is limited, and the largely unregulated supply chain means products are often mislabeled or contaminated.[4] Observational

Regulatory status

Listed in the 'nominated but withdrawn' table of the FDA bulk-substance safety-risk page (content current 2026-04-22); FDA identified no human exposure data. Checked 2026-10-20.[1] Source
