Larazotide Acetate

Limited human data

A first-in-class oral peptide designed to keep intestinal tight junctions closed, studied as an adjunct therapy for celiac disease alongside a gluten-free diet. One of the more rigorously trialed gut-health peptides, with multiple completed phase 2 RCTs.

Gut health

KPV

Emerging

The smallest active fragment of alpha-MSH (just three amino acids), studied almost entirely in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease as an anti-inflammatory candidate. A clear example of a peptide with real preclinical mechanism data but essentially no human trials.

  • EmergingMostly preclinical or early signals; human athletic data is thin.
  • Limited human dataSome human pharmacology or small studies; outcomes for fitness use remain limited.
  • Stronger clinical signalSupported by larger clinical trials in defined medical populations.
