Timing: Any consistent time; no built-in rest days, since the animal work dosed continuously.
Flare
Step-down after a course
Who: After a 4 to 8 week course.

High outlier
Note: One guide's scale, 2 to 10 times higher than the rest, with no source given.
Other protocols: oral, capsule5
Gut (oral)
Timing: Empty stomach, 30 minutes before food, because food peptides compete for the PepT1 transporter.
Oral split dose
Timing: With meals, which contradicts the same site's empty-stomach advice.
Oral, common
Timing: Empty stomach for body-wide effects, with food to target the gut.
Oral chart
Oral ladder (daily total)
Timing: Empty stomach; delayed-release capsules to reach the colon.

KPV dosage questions
What is the typical dose?
Most guides land at 200 to 500 mcg a day. The full spread is 200 mcg to 2 mg per dose. One guide argues that more than 500 mcg buys nothing documented, since KPV blocks NF-kB at about 10 nM in cells and 500 mcg already gives about 0.5 uM in plasma.
How many units is 500 mcg?
With 10 mg in 2 mL, 500 mcg is 10 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator for other mixes.
